Search for single production of scalar leptoquarks in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 8 TeV with the CMS Detector
Abstract: A search is presented for production of both first and second generation scalar leptoquarks with a final state of either two electrons and one jet or two muons and one jet. The data collected were pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV recorded by the CMS detector, corresponding to 19.6 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. Limits are set at 95% CL on both the first and second generation leptoquark production cross sections $\sigma$ as a function of the leptoquark mass and the leptoquark coupling $\lambda$ to a lepton and a quark. These results are compared with theoretical predictions to obtain lower limits on the mass of the leptoquark.
