| Abstract: A search is presented for a third-generation leptoquark (LQ) coupled exclusively to a $ \tau $ lepton and a b quark. The search is based on proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded with the CMS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $. Events with $ \tau $ leptons and a varying number of jets originating from b quarks are considered, targeting the single and pair production of LQs, as well as nonresonant $ t $-channel LQ exchange. An excess is observed in the data with respect to the background expectation in the combined analysis of all search regions. For a benchmark LQ mass of 2 TeV and an LQ-b-$\tau $ coupling strength of 2.5, the excess reaches a local significance of up to 2.8 standard deviations. Upper limits at the 95% confidence level are placed on the LQ production cross section in the LQ mass range 0.5--2.3 TeV, and up to 3 TeV for $ t $-channel LQ exchange. Leptoquarks are excluded below masses of 1.22--1.88 TeV for different LQ models and varying coupling strengths up to 2.5. The study of nonresonant $ \tau\tau $ production through $ t $-channel LQ exchange allows lower limits on the LQ mass of up to 2.3 TeV to be obtained. | ||

| Summary |
| A search has been presented for a third-generation leptoquark (LQ) decaying to a $ \tau $ lepton and a b quark. Events with $ \tau $ leptons and a varying number of jets originating from b quarks are considered, targeting the single and pair production of the LQs, as well as the nonresonant production of two $ \tau $ leptons through $ t $-channel LQ exchange. The search uses proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded with the CMS detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $. Upper limits are set on third-generation scalar and vector LQ production cross sections as a function of LQ mass, and results are compared with theoretical predictions to obtain lower limits on the LQ mass. At 95% confidence level, third-generation LQs decaying to a $ \tau $ lepton and a b quark with unit coupling ($ \lambda= $ 1) are excluded for masses below 1.22 TeV for a scalar model, and below 1.50 (1.82) TeV for a vector model with a coupling parameter $ \kappa= $ 0 (1). For $ \lambda= $ 2.5 the lower limits are 1.31 TeV for a scalar model, and 1.73 (1.88) TeV for a vector model with $ \kappa= $ 0 (1). The study of nonresonant $ \tau\tau $ production through $ t $-channel LQ exchange allows lower limits on the LQ mass of up to 2.3 TeV to be obtained. Upper limits are also set on the coupling strengths of scalar and vector LQs as functions of their mass. The observed data are found to agree with the standard model expectation within 2 standard deviations below a coupling strength of $ \lambda= $ 1.5. For a benchmark LQ model with a mass of 2 TeV and a coupling strength of 2.5, the data show an excess with a local significance of 2.8 standard deviations above the standard model expectation. Consequently, the observed upper limits on the LQ production cross section are about three times larger than expected for this benchmark. The present excess is driven by events with at least one highly energetic jet but no b-tagged jets, indicating the need for future similar analyses to consider alternative signal models. |
