Search for second generation leptoquark pairs decaying to μν + jets in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV

Search for second generation leptoquark pairs decaying to μν + jets in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV

We report on a search for second generation leptoquarks (LQ) produced in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV using the D0 detector at Fermilab. Second generation leptoquarks are assumed to be produced in pairs and to decay to either μ or ν and either a strange or a charm quark (q). Limits are placed on σ...

Sumario:We report on a search for second generation leptoquarks (LQ) produced in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV using the D0 detector at Fermilab. Second generation leptoquarks are assumed to be produced in pairs and to decay to either μ or ν and either a strange or a charm quark (q). Limits are placed on σ(pp̄ → LQLQ → μν + jets) as a function of the mass of the leptoquark. For equal branching ratios to μq and νq, second generation scalar leptoquarks with a mass below 160 GeV/c2, vector leptoquarks with anomalous minimal vector couplings with a mass below 240 GeV/c2, and vector leptoquarks with Yang-Mills couplings with a mass below 290 GeV/c2, are excluded at the 95% confidence level. © 1999 The American Physical Society.
