what is the predicted charge & mass of a leptoquark (theoreticaly)?
Leptoquarks are hypothetical particles that are predicted by certain theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. They are predicted to have both electric charge and color charge, and to interact with both leptons and quarks.
Leptoquarks are predicted to have both electric charge and mass, just like other fundamental particles such as electrons and quarks. However, the exact values of these charges and masses are still unknown and are being studied through theoretical models and experimental data.
The theoretical charge of leptoquarks can vary depending on the specific model being studied. Some theories predict that leptoquarks may have fractional electric charges, while others suggest they may have integer charges. The exact value is still being investigated.
Leptoquarks differ from other particles in several ways. They are predicted to have both electric charge and color charge, whereas most particles only have one or the other. Additionally, they are expected to interact with both leptons and quarks, whereas other particles typically only interact with one or the other.
The discovery of leptoquarks would have significant implications for our understanding of particle physics and the Standard Model. It could help explain certain mysteries, such as why there are more matter particles than antimatter particles in the universe. It could also open up new avenues for research and potentially lead to the development of new technologies.
