Are there leptoquarks?
July 16th, 2014 | by
Leptoquarks are interesting objects: These (so far) hypothetical particles are able to connect a single Lepton and a single quark in one interaction. For triggering such an interaction, leptoquarks have to carry both lepton number (such as leptons) and baryon quantum number (such as quarks). Hence the name: Lept-o-quark.

It has been exactly two years now since the two big experiments Atlas and CMS at the LHC announced the discovery of a new boson. This boson is so far hotly tipped to be the Standard Model Higgs particle. What does “being the Standard model Higgs particle” mean, are particle physicists sure about that and how do they come to their conclusion?
