Recent results on searches for new particles at the electron-proton collider HERA are reported. Based on roughly 100pb-1 of e^+p data and 16pb-1 of e^-p data per experiment, taken in the years 1994-2000, the H1 and ZEUS collaborations have derived new exclusion limits for the direct production of excited fermion states and leptoquarks. The latter are searched for in different decay channels, including lepton-flavor violating decays. The production of R_P-violating squarks followed by leptoquark-like decays to lepton and quark is studied, as are cascade decays yielding multi-jet plus lepton signatures. New limits from indirect searches are also reported. Several of the searches obtain sensitivities of the same order or exceeding those of other experiments, indicating the substantial discovery potential of future HERA running.

Recent results on searches for new particles at the electron-proton collider HERA are reported. Based on roughly 40pb-1 of e^+p data taken in the years 1994-1997, the H1 and ZEUS collaborations have derived new exclusion limits for the direct production of excited fermion states and of leptoquarks in different decay channels, including lepton-flavor violating decays. The results of searches for contact interactions further constrain the parameter space for such particles and their couplings in the high-mass regime, where direct production is kinematically prohibited. Also preliminary analyses of the e^-p data taken in 1998 and 1999 do not find signals of new physics.
The high energy programme of the HERA collider ended in March 2007. During the whole HERA programme, a combined total integrated luminosity of 1 fb$^{-1}$ was collected by the H1 and ZEUS experiments. In this context, an overview of the most recent results of both experiments concerning searches for new physics is presented. The topics covered are searches for contact interactions, leptoquarks and excited leptons, as well as studies of the isolated lepton and multi-lepton topologies, and a general signature based search.
We present a search for excited neutrinos and electrons using all data collected by the H1 experiment at HERA at a center-of-mass energy of 320 GeV with an integrated luminosity of up to 435 pb$^{-1}$. No evidence for excited neutrino or electron production is found. Mass dependent exclusion limits are determined for the ratio of the coupling to the compositeness scale, $f/{Lambda}$. These limits greatly extend the excluded region to higher masses than has been possible in previous searches.
Recent results from searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) in electron/positron-proton collisions at HERA at center-of-mass energies of 300 and 320 GeV are presented. They were performed on a data sample collected in the period 1994-2004 by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations. The data have been analysed searching for leptoquarks, light gravitinos in R-parity violating supersymmetric models and magnetic monopoles. Results of a general search for new phenomena at high transverse momentum and of a dedicated search for events with isolated leptons and missing transverse momentum are also reported.
Leptoquarks (LQ) are predicted by many new physics theories to describe the similarities between the lepton and quark sectors of the Standard Model and offer an attractive potential explanation for the lepton flavour anomalies observed at LHCb and flavour factories. The ATLAS experiment has a broad program of direct searches for Leptoquarks, coupling to the first-, second- or third-generation particles. The most recent 13 TeV results on the searches for Leptoquarks and contact interactions with the ATLAS detector are reviewed, covering flavour-diagonal and cross-generational final states.
