Abstract
In the light of recent experimental results from IceCube, LHC searches for scalar leptoquark, and the flavor anomalies ${R}_{K}$ and ${R}_{{K}^{*}}$, we analyze two scalar leptoquark models with hypercharge $Y=1/6$ and $Y=7/6$. We consider the 53 high-energy starting events from IceCube and perform a statistical analysis, taking into account both the Standard Model and leptoquark contribution together. The lighter leptoquark states that are in agreement with IceCube are strongly constrained from LHC di-lepton+dijet search. Heavier leptoquarks in the TeV mass range are in agreement both with IceCube and LHC. We furthermore show that leptoquark, which explains the $B$-physics anomalies and does not have any coupling with the third generation of quarks and leptons, can be strongly constrained.
