Speculations on mechanisms which might be responsible for events with an isolated high p_T lepton, a hadron jet and missing energy, as observed in the H1 experiment at HERA, are discussed.

A light stop, with an R-parity-violating coupling $lambda_{131}$, has been suggested as an explanation of the excess in high-$Q^2$ neutral current events observed at the HERA collider. We show that in this scheme a corresponding excess in charged current events --- such as that reported by the H1 Collaboration --- can appear naturally, without calling for the presence of light sleptons or additional R-parity-violating couplings, if there exists a chargino lighter than the stop. The predicted event shapes agree well with the data. The relevant region of parameter space is identified, taking into account constraints coming from precision electroweak measurements, atomic parity violation and recent searches for first-generation leptoquarks at the Tevatron collider.
An excess of events at large Q2 with a positron in the final state has been observed at HERA which, if confirmed, would be a signal of new physics. It is not clear at present if a signal of comparable rate is also seen in the charged current channel (with an antineutrino in the final state). In this note we analyse the implications of the presence of such a signal in models of new physics based on contact terms, leptoquarks and squarks with R-violating decays. We find that in all cases the most likely possibility is that the charged current signal is absent. As a consequence if this signal is present the resulting indications are very selective. In particular for squarks only charged current events with multi-quark final states are possible with quite definite predictions on the spectrum of supersymmetric particles.
The photoproduction of isolated photons has been measured in diffractive events recorded by the ZEUS detector at HERA. Cross sections are evaluated in the photon-proton transverse-energy and pseudorapidity ranges 5<ET(gamma)<15 GeV and -0.7<eta(gamma)<0.9 inclusively and also with a jet with transverse energy and pseudorapidity in the range 4<ET(jet)<35 GeV and -1.5<eta(jet)<1.8, using a total integrated electron-proton luminosity of 374 pb-1. A number of kinematic variables were studied and compared to predictions from the RAPGAP Monte Carlo model. An excess of data is observed above the RAPGAP predictions for z|P(meas)>0.9, where z|P(meas) is the fraction of the longitudinal momentum of the colourless Pomeron exchange that is transferred to the photon-jet final state, giving evidence for direct Pomeron interactions.

A search for events with one or more isolated leptons in the final state is performed on a data sample collected in e+-p collisions with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at the HERA collider. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of ~1 fb-1, representing the full HERA high-energy data set. The yields of single, di- and tri-lepton events are measured and compared to the Standard Model predictions, looking for possible deviations. No significant discrepancy with respect to the Standard Model expectations is observed.
