Abstract

We report on a search for second generation leptoquarks (LQ) produced in pp collisions at √ = 1.8TeV using the D0 detector at Fermilab. Second generation leptoquarks are assumed to be produced in pairs and to decay to either μ or v and either a strange or a charm quark (q). Limits are placed on σ (pp → LQLQ → μ v + jets) as a function of the mass of the leptoquark. For equal branching ratios to μq and vq second generation scalar leptoquarks with a mass below 160 GeV/c2 vector leptoquarks with anomalous minimal vector couplings with a mass below 240 GeV/c2 and vector leptoquarks with Yang-Mills couplings with a mass below 290 GeV/c2 are excluded at the 95% confidence level.
