摘要
A search for leptoquark signals is performed in final states with a hadronically decayingτ -lepton and missing transverse momentum, using data from proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of√s̅=13TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider during Run 2 (2015–18), corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb ⁻¹ . The analysis is designed to probe both resonant production and non-resonantt -channel exchange of the leptoquark, covering a wide range of coupling scenarios. No excess above the Standard Model background prediction is observed. Limits are set on the couplings in the benchmarkU₁vector-leptoquark model at 95% confidence level for masses between 1.5 TeV and 3.0 TeV.
