Leptoquark production in e−γ scattering Original Research Article

We perform a model-independent analysis of the production of scalar and vector leptoquarks in the e−γ mode of a linear collider of the next generation. Since these leptoquarks are produced singly, higher masses can be probed than in other collider modes, like e+e− scattering. We discuss the discovery potential and show how polarization and angular distributions can be used to distinguish between the different types of leptoquarks.
