Bounds on Leptoquark and Supersymmetric, R-parity violating Interactions from Meson Decays

Abstract

We present constraints on products of two leptoquark (LQ) coupling constants. The bounds are obtained from meson decays, in particular leptonic π, K, D, D_s, B, B_s decays. Furthermore semileptonic meson decays and mixing in neutral meson systems are discussed. We use the Buchmueller-Rueckl-Wyler-model for scalar and vector LQs. Bounds on R-parity violation can be extracted directly from the corresponding LQ bounds. Our results are listed in the Tables 6 (for LQs) and 7 (for SUSY particles) with english captions. The bounds of Davidson/Bailey/Campbell were updated. The SUSY-bounds of Dreiner/Polesello/Thormeier were reproduced.
