Abstract
We present the results of a search for third generation leptoquark (LQ ) pairs in 110 +/- 8 pb(-1) of (p) over bar p collisions at root s = 1 .8 TeV recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We assume third generation leptoquarks decay to a tau lepton and a b quark with branch ing ratio beta. We observe one candidate event, consistent with standa rd model background expectations. We place upper limits on sigma((p) o ver bar p --> LQ(<(LQ)over bar>).beta(2) as a function of the leptoqua rk mass M(LQ). We exclude at 95% confidence level scalar leptoquarks w ith M(LQ) < 99 GeV/c(2), gauge vector leptoquarks with M(LQ) < 225 GeV /c(2), and nongauge vector leptoquarks with M(LQ) < 170 GeV/c(2) for b eta = 1.
