Bounds on scalar leptoquark and scalar gluon masses from current data on S, T, U
Abstract
The contributions into radiative correction parameters S, T, U from scalar leptoquark and scalar gluon doublets are investigated in the minimal four color symmetry model. It is shown that the existence of the relatively light scalar leptoquarks and scalar gluons (with masses of order of 1 TeV or less) is consistent with the current experimental data on S, T, U and the more light particles (with masses below 400 GeV) improve the fit. In particular, the lightest scalar leptoquarks with masses below 300 GeV are consistent with the current data on S, T, U at 2 < 3.1(3.2) for mH=115(300) GeV in comparison with 2 = 3.5(5.0) in the Standard Model. The lightest scalar gluon in this case is expected to lie below 850(720) GeV. The possible significance of such particles in the t-quark physics at LHC is emphasized and their effect on the gauge coupling constant unification is briefly discussed.
