LEPTOQUARK PRODUCTION IN E(-)GAMMA SCATTERING

We perform a model-independent analysis of the production of scalar an d vector leptoquarks in the e(-)gamma mode of a linear collider of the next generation. Since these leptoquarks are produced singly, higher masses can be probed than in other collider modes, like e(+)e(-) scatt ering. We discuss the discovery potential and show how polarization an d angular distributions can be used to distinguish between the differe nt types of leptoquarks.
