Abstract

If quarks and leptons are composite objects with common constituents, then there exist two-quark-two-lepton contact interactions which could affect lepton pair production at the SSC. We show that for a range of compositeness scales and lepton pair invariant masses, the contact interaction contributions dominate the standard model contributions to the cross section. In this regime, we show that there should be a measurable and statistically significant front-back asymmetry.
