Search for first generation scalar leptoquarks in pp collisions at s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
We report a search for first generation scalar leptoquarks using 1.03fb -1 of proton-proton collisions data produced by the Large Hadron Collider at s=7 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS experiment. Leptoquarks are sought via their decay into an electron or neutrino and a quark, producing events with tw...
