Description

Mass bounds from different processes for charged Higgs particles, for pseudoscalar leptoquarks occurring in dynamically broken theories, for vector leptoquarks occurring in the Pati-Salam type of grand unified theories and for the exotic particles of supersymmetric theories are studied. The processes considered are the π → eν to π → μν branching ratio, the CP-violating Kl3 decay parameters, and the CP-violating part of the Ksub(L) - Ksub(S) mass difference. The π → eν to π → μν branching ratio sets the most stringent bounds, 0.5 TeV for charged Higgs particles, 1 TeV for pseudoscalar leptoquarks, 125 TeV for vector leptoquarks and 0.1-1 TeV for the supersymmetric partners of ordinary particles. The πl2 branching ratio should be sensitive at the present experimental accuracy to the effects of pseudoscalar leptoquarks. (orig.)
