Description
Current LHC searches for new colored particles generally focus on their pair production channels and assume any single production to be negligible. Such an assumption may be unnecessary in some cases. In this talk, I will discuss how inclusion of single productions in pair production searches (or vice versa) can give us new information about model parameters. Using the recent CMS searches for scalar leptoquark, I will demonstrate how the inclusion of single productions can affect the mass exclusion limits and give new bounds on leptoquark parameters. Like leptoquarks, color octet leptons or leptogluons also decay to lepton-jet final states. We show how the leptoquark search results can also be used to put the most stringent limit on the leptogluon mass till date and gives us a unique way to derive bound on the compositeness scale.
