Search for pair production of first or second generation leptoquarks in proton-proton collisions at √s=7TeV using the ATLAS detector at the LHC
This paper describes searches for the pair production of first or second generation scalar leptoquarks using 35pb - 1 of proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at √s=7TeV. Leptoquarks are searched in events with two oppositely-charged muons or electrons and at least two jets, an...
