Doncheski and Hewett have recently shown that the ratio of neutral current to charged current cross sections, $R=\frac{{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{NC}}}{{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{CC}}}$, can provide a more sensitive probe for the existence of heavy leptoquarks at the DESY $\mathrm{ep}$ collider HERA than the usual procedure which makes use of neutral current asymmetries. The apparent reason …
