The number of observed events is in good agreement with the predictions for the standard model background processes, and an upper limit is set on the leptoquark pair production

upper limit on the scalar leptoquark pair production cross section multiplied by
2 as a function of the LQ mass, together with the NLO theoretical cross section curve.. The
