Oblique corrections from leptoquarks

Abstract

We present general formulas for the oblique-correction parameters $S$, $T$, $U$, $V$, $W$, and $X$ in a model of New Physics having arbitrary numbers of scalar leptoquarks of the five permissible types. We allow for a general mixing among the scalars of the various electric charges, $\textit{viz.}$ $-4/3$, $-1/3$, $2/3$, and $5/3$. We then extend the formulas to the case of a New Physics model with additional scalars in any representations of the gauge group $SU(2) \times U(1)$, mixing arbitrarily among themselves.
