Parallel session talk Searches for New Physics T10: Searches for New Physics

Speaker

Yoav Afik (CERN)

Description

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. This talk will present the most recent 13 TeV results on t he searches for leptoquarks and contact interactions with the ATLAS detector, covering flavour-diagonal and cross-generational final states.
