Search for Scalar Leptoquarks Using the ATLAS Detector — •Jason Tam, Giovanni Siragusa, and Raimund Ströhmer — Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg, Germany

Similarities between the leptons and quarks in the SM suggest the existence of symmetries beyond the EW symmetry breaking scale. Leptoquarks (LQ) are hypothetical charged particles which carry both quark and lepton flavour quantum numbers. They appear naturally in many BSM theories and there has already been searches at previous collider experiments. A model independent search of pair-produced scalar LQs, based on an effective theory, will be presented. The most recent results obtained with the ATLAS detector will be reported.
