Abstract:
A contact interaction analysis is presented to search for new phenomena beyond the Standard Model in deep inelastic e ±pe ±hadronse~\pm p \rightarrow e~\pm \, hadrons scattering. The data are collected with the H1 detector at HERA and correspond to integrated luminosities of 0.909 pb 10.909 \ {\rm pb}~{-1} and 2.947 pb 12.947 \ {\rm pb}~{-1} for electron and positron beams, respectively. The differential cross sections dσ/dQ 2d\sigma / dQ~2 are measured in the Q 2Q~2 range bet\-ween 160 \ \GeV~2 and 20,000 \ \GeV~2. The absence of any significant deviation from the Standard Model prediction is used to constrain the couplings and masses of new leptoquarks and to set limits on electron--quark compositeness scales and on the radius of light quarks.
