Fermionic decays of scalar leptoquarks and scalar gluons in the minimal four color symmetry model

Fermionic decays of the scalar leptoquarks $S=S_1^{(+)}, S_1^{(-)}, S_m$ and of the scalar gluons $F=F_1, F_2$ predicted by the four color symmetry model with the Higgs mechanism of the quark-lepton mass splitting are investigated. Widths and branching ratios of these decays are calculated and analysed in dependence on coupling constants and on masses of the decaying particles. It is shown that the decays $S_1^{(+)}\to tl^+_j, S_1^{(-)}\to \nu_i\tilde b, S_m\to t\tilde \nu_j, F_1\to t\tilde b, F_2\to t\tilde t$ are dominant with the widths of order of a few GeV for $m_S, m_F<1$ TeV and with the total branching ratios close to 1. In the case of $m_S < m_t$ the dominant scalar leptoquark decays are S_1^{(+)}\to cl_j^+, S_1^{(-)}\to \nu_i\tilde b, S_m\to b\l_j^+, S_m\to c\tilde \nu_j with the total branching ratios $Br(S_1^{(+)}\to cl^+) \approx$ $Br(S_1^{(-)}\to \nu\tilde b) \approx 1$, $Br(S_m\to bl^+) \approx 0.9$ and $Br(S_m\to c\tilde \nu) \approx 0.1.$ A search for such decays at the LHC and Tevatron may be of interest.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, 1 table, to be published in Modern Physics Letters

On a possible manifestation of the four color symmetry Z′Z' boson in μ+μ−\mu^+\mu^- events at the LHC

The cross section of the $\mu^+\mu^-$ pair production in $pp$-collisions at the LHC is calculated with acount of the $Z'$ boson induced by the minimal four color quark-lepton symmetry($MQLS$). The $\mu^+\mu^-$ invariant mass spectrum with account of the $MQLS$ $Z'$ boson is analysed in dependence on the $Z'$ mass. The mass region for the $MQLS$ $Z'$ boson observable at the LHC is found in dependence on the significance and on the integrated luminosity.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication in Modern Physics Letters
