New Mechanisms for Asymmetric Leptoquark Pair Production at Hadron Colliders

ORAL

Abstract

In this presentation, we briefly describe the phenomenology behind a novel method for pair producing asymmetric leptoquarks (LQ's), in which the final state LQ's are not charge conjugates of each other. Then, we outline the general process to for producing samples from MadGraph5 and Pythia8 with some specifics to the ATLAS experiment within CERN and the 2lSS+1tau working group. After this, we detail the fixing, updating, and converting of the previous analysis code that was used on older ntuples that were prepared for a ttH signal. We then test this updated code on the same ttH signal to ensure that all of the parameters are working as expected. In doing this, we find better analysis compared to the previous analysis when considering only statistics and not systematics. Next steps include finishing the full production of the LQ signal samples as well as fine tuning analysis and model parameters.
