Second Generation Leptoquark Search in p\bar{p} Collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.8 TeV
Abstract
Description
We report on a search for second generation leptoquarks with the DØ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.8 TeV. This search is based on 12.7 pb$^{-1}$ of data. Second generation leptoquarks are assumed to be produced in pairs and to decay into a muon and quark with branching ratio $β$ or to neutrino and quark with branching ratio $(1-β)$. We obtain cross section times branching ratio limits as a function of leptoquark mass and set a lower limit on the leptoquark mass of 111 GeV/c$^{2}$ for $β= 1 $ and 89 GeV/c$^{2}$ for $β= 0.5 $ at the 95%\ confidence level.
