This article summarizes the status of the Tevatron Run II searches for leptoquarks in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96 $ TeV. The analyses discussed use datasets with integrated luminosities ranging from 72 pb$^{-1}$ to 200 pb$^{-1}$.}
Recent searches for leptoquark production and compositeness in p-anti-p collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV are presented using data samples with integrated luminosities up to 4 fb^{-1} recorded with the D0 and CDF detectors at the Tevatron collider.
The existence of leptoquarks (LQ), color-triplets of bosons with lepton and quark quantum numbers, is predicted by various theories beyond the Standard Model. This article summarizes the D-Zero Run I searches for the three different LQ generations in ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV and presents ongoing studies at Run II.
This paper reviews some of the most recent results from the CDF and DZERO experiments on the searches for Standard Model and Non-Standard Model Higgs bosons, and other new phenomena at the Tevatron. Both experiments examine data from proton anti-proton collision at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV, of integrated luminosity ~200$ pb**-1 (per experiment), to search for Higgs predicted in the Standard Model and beyond Standard Model, supersymmetric particles in the Gauge Mediated Symmetry Breaking scenario, leptoquarks, and excited electrons. No signal was observed, and limits on the signatures and models are …
We study the single production of first generation leptoquarks in association with a e+/- at the Fermilab Tevatron. We focus our attention on final states exhibiting a e+e- pair and jets, and perform a detailed analyses of signal and backgrounds. The single leptoquark production cross section depends on the leptoquark Yukawa coupling to lepton-quark pairs and we show that the study of this mode can extend considerably the leptoquark search for a large range of these couplings. In fact, for Yukawa couplings of the electromagnetic strength, the combined results of the Tevatron experiments can ex…

We report on a search for vector-like quarks and leptoquarks at D0. In the absence of any significant excess over the expectations, we present the most stringent limits to date.
This talk summarizes the status of Leptoquark searches performed at Tevatron, LEP and HERA. Prospects for Leptoquark searches at future colliders at LHC and TESLA are given.
Leptoquarks (LQ) are predicted by many new physics theories to describe the similarities between the lepton and quark sectors of the Standard Model and offer an attractive potential explanation for the lepton flavour anomalies observed at LHCb and flavour factories. The ATLAS experiment has a broad program of direct searches for Leptoquarks, coupling to the first-, second- or third-generation particles. The most recent 13 TeV results on the searches for Leptoquarks and contact interactions with the ATLAS detector are reviewed, covering flavour-diagonal and cross-generational final states.
Various searches for leptoquarks, scalar quarks in $R_p$-violating supersymmetric models, and excited fermions performed by the HERA experiments H1 and ZEUS are reviewed. No evidence for new particle production was observed from data collected by both experiments since 1994 in either electron-proton and positron-proton collisions. Stringent limits derived on the masses and couplings of these new particles are compared whenever appropriate with those from LEP, the Tevatron and low energy experiments.
Recent results on searches for new particles at the electron-proton collider HERA are reported. Based on roughly 100pb-1 of e^+p data and 16pb-1 of e^-p data per experiment, taken in the years 1994-2000, the H1 and ZEUS collaborations have derived new exclusion limits for the direct production of excited fermion states and leptoquarks. The latter are searched for in different decay channels, including lepton-flavor violating decays. The production of R_P-violating squarks followed by leptoquark-like decays to lepton and quark is studied, as are cascade decays yielding multi-jet plus lepton sig…
Leptoquarks (LQs) are hypothetical bosons, each coupling to a lepton and a quark of a given generation. They recently got particular attention, as the "TeV-scale LQ" might explain observed anomalies reported by dedicated B physics experiments. In these proceedings, the recent progress of the direct searches on LQs at CMS experiment is presented. The results are based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, recorded with the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1.
Searches for pair-produced scalar leptoquarks are performed using 20 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data provided by the LHC and recorded by the ATLAS detector at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV. Events with two electrons (muons) and two or more jets in the final state are used to search for first (second)-generation leptoquarks. The results from two previously published ATLAS analyses are interpreted in terms of third-generation leptoquarks decaying to $bν_τ\bar{b}\bar{ν_τ}$ and $tν_τ\bar{t}\bar{ν_τ}$ final states. No statistically significant excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed in…
We present in this paper the current status of searches for leptoquarks at D0. These results include the use of next leading order theoretical predictions for the cross section for pair production of leptoquarks at hadron colliders. We also present a new optimized analysis for first generation leptoquarks with significant increase in sensitivity relative to earlier searches using D0 data. The mass limits derived from this first generation leptoquark search are relevant to the recently reported high mass events at HERA.
Limits are set on the pair production of scalar leptoquarks, where all possible decays of the leptoquark into a quark ($t$, $b$) and a lepton ($τ$, $ν$) of the third generation are considered. The limits are presented as a function of the leptoquark mass and the branching ratio into charged leptons for up-type ($\mathrm{LQ}_{3}^{u}$ $\rightarrow t ν/ b τ$) and down-type ($\mathrm{LQ}_{3}^{d}$ $\rightarrow b ν/ t τ$) leptoquarks. Many results are reinterpretations of previously published ATLAS searches. In all cases, LHC proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13…
Various recent results of new particle searches at the Fermilab Tevatron are presented. No evidence is found for supersymmetric particles (chargino, gluino), leptoquark bosons and heavy gauge bosons in p-pbar collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV. Excluded mass regions for each particle are determined.
We present some new results on searches for new physics at the Tevatron Run 1 (1992 -- 1996). The topics covered are searches for R-Parity violating and conserving mSUGRA, large extra dimensions in di-photon and monojet channels, leptoquark in jets + missing Et channel, and two model independent searches. All results were finalized during the past year.
We have searched for the pair production of first generation scalar leptoquarks using the full data set (123 pb**-1) collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron during 1992-1996. We observe no candidates, consistent with the expected background. We combine these new results from the ee + jets and enu + jets channels with the published nunu + jets result to obtain a 95% CL upper limits on the LQ pair production cross section as a function of mass and beta, the branching ratio to a charged lepton and a quark. Comparing to the NLO theory predictions, we set 95% CL lower limits on the …
Results of searches at the Tevatron for physics (non-SUSY and non-Higgs) beyond the Standard Model using 200/pb to 480/pb of data are discussed. Searches at DO and CDF for Z', Lepton-Quark compositeness, Randall-Sundrum Gravitons, Large Extra Dimensions, W', Leptoquarks and Excited Electrons are presented here.
Leptoquarks with masses at the TeV scale have been proposed as possible solutions to flavor anomalies reported in the b-flavor sector. Based on data taken in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13\,\mathrm{TeV}$ at the LHC, different leptoquark flavors can be probed in various final states. In this article, the results of direct searches for single and pair production of leptoquarks conducted by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations are summarized.
Recent results on searches for new physics at Run II of the Tevatron are reported. The searches cover many different final states and previous hints of signals, but all analyses have at this point led to negative results.
We report on a search for the pair production of scalar leptoquarks, $LQ$, using 191 pb$^{-1}$ of proton-antiproton collision data recorded by the CDF experiment during Run II of the Tevatron. The leptoquarks are sought via their decay into a neutrino and quark yielding missing transverse energy and several jets of large transverse energy. No evidence for leptoquark production is observed, and limits are set on $σ(p\bar p\to LQ\bar{LQ} X \to ν\barνq\bar q X)$. Using a next-to-leading order theoretical prediction of the cross section for scalar leptoquark production, we exclude first-generation…
Recent results of searches for leptoquarks, lepton flavour violating leptoquarks and excited fermions (electrons, neutrinos and quarks) with the H1 experiment at HERA are presented, which use up to the full ep H1 data set. No evidence for the direct or indirect production of such particles is found. The results are interpreted in terms of limits on the Yukawa coupling of leptoquarks and lepton flavour violating processes and for excited fermions on the ratio of the coupling parameter to the compositeness scale f/Lambda, mainly in the framework of gauge mediated interactions. The derived limits…
The CDF and DO experiments have collected and analyzed about 300 inverse picobarns of data during the Run II of the Tevatron. Results of searches for new non supersymmetric particles based on these datasets will be presented.
We present an overview of the full range of Higgs searches in models beyond the Standard Model at the Tevatron. This includes both searches for Fermiophobic Higgs and for SUSY Higgs at high tan beta. No excess is seen in the data, so model dependent limits are set.
We present the results of searches for non-standard model phenomena in photon and jet final states. These searches use data from integrated luminosities of 0.7--2.7/fb of p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF and D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron. No significant excess in data has been observed. We report limits on the parameters of several models, including: large extra dimension, compositeness, leptoquarks, and supersymmetry.
In the following, we describe preliminary results of searches for non-SM higgs bosons at the CDF and D0 experiments. Both experiments use data obtained in pp-bar collisions at the Tevatron at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV.

Searches for scalar leptoquarks pair-produced in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV at the Large Hadron Collider are performed by the ATLAS experiment. A data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ is used. Final states containing two electrons or two muons and two or more jets are studied, as are states with one electron or muon, missing transverse momentum and two or more jets. No statistically significant excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed. The observed and expected lower limits on the leptoquark mass at 95% confidence level extend up…
Results are presented for beyond the Standard Model Higgs boson searches using up to 8.2 invfb of data from Run II at the Tevatron. No significant excess is observed in any of the channels so 95% confidence level limits are presented.

I describe recent signature-based searches for anomalous physics processes using up to 2.9/fb of data from the CDF or D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron. While each search conveys its sensitivity by interpreting a null result in terms of one or more specific exotic models, the searches are designed to be broadly sensitive to many models.
Results are presented for beyond the Standard Model Higgs boson searches using up to 4.2 fb-1 of data from Run II at the Tevatron. No significant excess is observed in any of the channels so 95% confidence level limits are presented.

The Fermilab Tevatron collider experiments, CDF and \dz, have collected over 200 ${\rm pb}^{-1}$ of data at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV since March 2002 (RunII). Both experiments have investigated physics beyond the Standard Model; this paper reviews some of the recent results on the searches for new phenomena, concentrating on Z', extra dimensions, excited electrons and leptoquarks. No signal was observed, therefore stringent limits on the signatures and models were derived.
We present results from several searches for various exotic physics phenomena like large extra dimensions, leptoquarks, and dark matter, in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 and 8 TeV delivered by the LHC and collected with the CMS detector. Many different final states are analyzed using data collected in 2011 and 2012 corresponding to an integrated luminosity up to 5.0 fb$^{-1}$ and 19.7 fb$^{-1}$. No sign of physics beyond the standard model has been observed so far and the results are used to set new limits on various new physics model parameters.
As the integrated luminosity of the Run II Tevatron increases, the sensitivity to new physics is approaching and in some cases surpassing that previously attained in Run I. Presented below are a selection of new results from searches for physics beyond the Standard Model at the CDF and D0 experiments.
We report on results obtained at the Tevatron by the CDF and D0 collaborations up to June 2008 (2.4 fb-1), on searches for standard model (SM) Higgs bosons having a high mass (135-200 GeV). High mass Higgs bosons decay dominantly in WW and the presented searches are performed in the leptonic decay modes of the W's. Both direct production (ppbar -> H) and associated production (ppbar -> WH) are studied and eventually combined with all channels available at the Tevatron. Prospects for SM Higgs searches with the full projected Tevatron statistics are also given.
One of the highest priority physics goals for the upgraded Tevatron experiments, CDF and D0, is the search for the Higgs boson. We present the initial results from both experiments, based on 40--90 pb$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity, of Higgs searches in several final states, including $WH$ and $ZH$, $H\to WW$, and doubly-charged Higgs.
In this article results from supersymmetry searches at D0 and CDF are reported. Searches for third generation squarks, searches for gauginos, and searches for models with R-parity violation are described. As no signs of supersymmetry for these models are observed, the most stringent limits to date are presented.
Successful operation of the Large Hadron Collider has led to more than 1 fb^-1 of data recorded with both ATLAS and CMS detectors by summer of 2011. This large amount of data has allowed to perform numerous searches for rare processes beyond the Standard Model, many of which are competitive with previous searches performed with the CDF and D0 detectors at the Tevatron. In this talk the most recent searches at the hadron colliders are reviewed.
The results for searches for Supersymmetry (SUSY) at the Tevatron Collider are summarized in this paper. We focus here on searches for trileptons and the lightest stop, as well as scenarios with R-parity violation and split supersymmetry. No significant excesses with respect to the Standard Model were observed and constraints are set on the SUSY parameter space.
The DØ and CDF experiments have each collected more than 8 fb-in Run II of Fermilab's Tevatron, and have many recent search results which use up to 5.2 fb-1 . Here I summarize the results of a variety of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model with an emphasis on searches for very exotic phenomena. I will present the status of model-inspired searches for several signatures of supersymmetry, as well as several other searches for several "hidden- valley" inspired models, all of which contain photons and jets in the final state.

No supersymmetric signal is detected and limits on the masses and production cross sections for the supersymmetric particles are set.
