Search for second and third generation leptoquarks at CDF

Conference ·
OSTI ID:772183
The authors report the results of a search for second and third generation leptoquarks using 88 pb{sup {minus}1} of data recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Color triplet technipions, which play the role of scalar leptoquarks, are investigated due to their potential production in decays of strongly coupled color octet technirhos. Events with a signature of two heavy flavor jets and missing energy may indicate the decay of a second (third) generation leptoquark to a charm (bottom) quark and a neutrino. As the data is found to be consistent with Standard Model expectations, mass limits are determined.
