| 30 | <h2>Leptoquark Processes</h2> |
---|
| 31 | |
---|
| 32 | Leptoquarks arise in many scenarios, and can have widely different |
---|
| 33 | characteristics, with respect to spin, isospin amd flavour. |
---|
| 34 | The current implentation in no sense attempts to exhaust these |
---|
| 35 | possibilities, but only to encode one of the simplest possibilities, |
---|
| 36 | with a single scalar leptoquark, denoted <i>LQ</i> and assigned PDG |
---|
| 37 | code 42. The leptoquark is assumed to carry specific quark |
---|
| 38 | and lepton quantum numbers, by default <i>u</i> quark plus electron. |
---|
| 39 | These flavour numbers are conserved, i.e. a process such as |
---|
| 40 | <i>u e^- -> LQ -> d nu_e</i> is not allowed. |
---|
| 41 | |
---|
| 42 | <p/> |
---|
| 43 | Although only one leptoquark is implemented, its flavours may be |
---|
| 44 | changed arbitrarily to study the different possibilities. The |
---|
| 45 | flavours of the leptoquark are defined by the quark and lepton |
---|
| 46 | flavours in the decay mode list. Therefore, to change from the |
---|
| 47 | current <i>u e^-</i> to <i>c mu^+</i>, say, you only need |
---|
| 48 | a line |
---|
| 49 | <br/><code>pythia.readString("42:0:products = 4 -13");</code> |
---|
| 50 | <br/>in your main program, or the equivalent in a command file. |
---|
| 51 | The former must always be a quark, while the latter could be a lepton |
---|
| 52 | or an antilepton; a charge-conjugate partner is automatically defined |
---|
| 53 | by the program. At initialization, the charge is recalculated as a |
---|
| 54 | function of the flavours defined; also the leptoquark name is redefined |
---|
| 55 | to be of the type <code>LQ_q,l</code>, where actual quark and lepton |
---|
| 56 | flavours are displayed. |
---|
| 57 | |
---|
| 58 | <p/> |
---|
| 59 | The leptoquark is likely to be fairly long-lived, in which case it |
---|
| 60 | could have time to fragment into a mesonic- or baryonic-type state, which |
---|
| 61 | would decay later on. Currently this posibility is not handled; therefore |
---|
| 62 | the leptoquark is always assumed to decay before fragmentation. |
---|
| 63 | For that reason the leptoquark can also not be put stable. |
---|
| 64 | |
---|
| 65 | <h3>Production processes</h3> |
---|
| 66 | |
---|
| 67 | Four production processes have been implemented, which normally would |
---|
| 68 | not overlap and therefore could be run together. |
---|

| 73 | Common switch for the group of lowest-order <i>LQ</i> production |
---|
| 74 | processes, i.e. the four ones below. |

| 92 | <input type="radio" name="4" value="off" checked="checked"><strong>Off</strong> |

| 93 | (<code>default = <strong>off</strong></code>)<br/> |
---|
| 94 | Scatterings <i>g g -> LQ LQbar</i>. |
---|
| 95 | Code 3203. |
---|
| 96 | |
---|

---|
| 101 | Scatterings <i>q qbar -> LQ LQbar</i>. |
---|
| 102 | Code 3204. |
---|
| 103 | |
---|
| 104 | |
---|
| 105 | <h3>Parameters</h3> |
---|
| 106 | |
---|
| 107 | In the above scenario the main free parameters are the leptoquark flavour |
---|
| 108 | content, set as already described, and the <i>LQ</i> mass, set as usual. |
---|
| 109 | In addition there is one further parameter. |
---|
| 110 | |
---|
| 111 | <br/><br/><table><tr><td><strong>LeptoQuark:kCoup </td><td></td><td> <input type="text" name="6" value="1.0" size="20"/> (<code>default = <strong>1.0</strong></code>; <code>minimum = 0.0</code>)</td></tr></table> |
---|
| 112 | multiplicative factor in the <i>LQ -> q l</i> squared Yukawa coupling, |
---|
| 113 | and thereby in the <i>LQ</i> width and the <i>q l -> LQ</i> and |
---|
| 114 | other cross sections. Specifically, <i>lambda^2/(4 pi) = k alpha_em</i>, |
---|
| 115 | i.e. it corresponds to the $k$ factor of [<a href="Bibliography.php" target="page">Hew88</a>]. |
