Coloron-assisted leptoquarks at the LHC

Recent searches for a first-generation leptoquark by the CMS collaboration have shown around 2.5σ   deviations from Standard Model predictions in both the eejjeejj and eνjjeνjj channels. Furthermore, the eejjeejj invariant mass distribution has another 2.8σ excess from the CMS right-handed W   plus heavy neutrino search. We point out that additional leptoquark production from a heavy coloron decay can provide a good explanation for all three excesses. The coloron has a mass around 2.1 TeV and the leptoquark mass can vary from 550 GeV to 650 GeV. A key prediction of this model is an edge in the total mTmT distribution of eνjjeνjj events at around 2.1 TeV.
