RESOLVED PHOTON CONTRIBUTIONS TO LEPTOQUARK PRODUCTION IN E-GAMMA COLLISIONS(E AND E)

We calculate the resolved photon contribution to leptoquark production at egamma colliders for the center-of-mass energies square-root s = 5 00 GeV and 1 TeV. We also calculate the resolved photon contribution t o leptoquark production at e+e- colliders for the center of mass energ ies square-root = 1 and 2 TeV. In both cases we find that these contri butions are considerably larger than the standard contributions consid ered in the literature. In addition we find that polarized electron be ams would be able to determine the chirality of the leptoquarks and th erefore be crucial for the determination of the type of leptoquark dis covered.
