Abstract
Leptoquarks are particles predicated to exist by many models beyond the standard model. A search is presented for the production of first generation scalar leptoquarks with a branching ratio into charged leptons of β = 1 with the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, at a center of mass energy of 7 TeV.
