Abstract:
We investigate the discovery potential for first generation leptoquarks at the LEP200 e +e e~+e~- collider. We consider direct leptoquark searches using single leptoquark production via resolved photon contributions which offers a much higher kinematic limit than the more commonly considered leptoquark pair production process. Depending on the coupling strength of the leptoquark, search limits can be obtained to within a few GeV of s\sqrt{s}. We also consider LQ limits that can be obtained from t-channel interferences effects in e +e hadronse~+e~- \to hadrons.
