Title: Technicolor Dreams: The Search for Leptoquarks at CDF

Abstract: 

We report the results of a search for second and third generation
leptoquarks using 88 pb-1 of data recorded by the Collider
Detector at Fermilab. Color triplet technipions, which play
the role of scalar leptoquarks, are investigated due to their  
potential production in decays of strongly coupled color octet 
technirhos. Events with a signature of two heavy flavor jets and  
missing energy may indicate the decay of a second (third) generation 
leptoquark to a charm (bottom) quark and a neutrino.
As the data is found to be consistent with Standard Model
expectations, mass limits are determined.
