Search for First Generation Leptoquark Pair Production in ppbar Collisions at s^1/2 = 1.8 TeV

TL;DR

This paper reports a search for first generation leptoquarks in proton-antiproton collisions at 1.8 TeV, setting cross section limits based on data collected with the CDF detector.

Contribution

It introduces a new search for first generation leptoquarks using collider data and establishes upper limits on their production cross section.

Findings

No leptoquark signal observed

Set 95% confidence level cross section limits

Constrained leptoquark mass range

Abstract

We present a search for first generation leptoquark with 110pb^1 of data collected with the CDF detector. We set 95% C.L. cross section limits as a function of the leptoquark mass.
