All figures including auxiliary figures are available at http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/EXOT-2020-08}, abstract = {A search for leptoquark pair production decaying into $te^- \bar{t}e^+$ or $t\mu^- \bar{t}\mu^+$ in final states with multiple leptons is presented. The search is based on a dataset of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139~fb$^{-1}$. Events are selected with two or more light leptons (electron or muon) and at least two jets out of which at least one jet is identified as coming from a $b$-hadron. Four signal regions, with the requirement of at least three light leptons, are considered based on the number of leptons of a given flavour. The main background processes are estimated using dedicated control regions in a simultaneous fit with the signal regions to data. No excess above the Standard Model background prediction is observed and 95\% confidence level limits on the production cross section times branching ratio are derived as a function of the leptoquark mass. Under the assumption of exclusive decays into $te^{-}$ ($t\mu^{-}$), the corresponding lower limit on the scalar mixed-generation leptoquark mass $m_{\mathrm{LQ}_{\mathrm{mix}}^{\mathrm{d}}}$ is at 1.58 (1.59) TeV and on the vector leptoquark mass $m_{\tilde{U}_1}$ at 1.67 (1.67) TeV in the minimal coupling scenario and at 1.95 (1.95) TeV in the Yang-Mills scenario.}, keywords = {p p: colliding beams (INSPIRE) / leptoquark: mass: lower limit (INSPIRE) / leptoquark: pair production (INSPIRE) / p p: scattering (INSPIRE) / coupling: minimal (INSPIRE) / lepton: multiple production (INSPIRE) / background (INSPIRE) / ATLAS (INSPIRE) / final state: ((n)jet dilepton) (INSPIRE) / final state: ((n)jet 3lepton) (INSPIRE) / final state: ((n)jet 4lepton) (INSPIRE) / jet: bottom (INSPIRE) / bottom: particle identification (INSPIRE) / leptoquark: scalar (INSPIRE) / leptoquark: vector particle (INSPIRE) / muon (INSPIRE) / channel cross section: branching ratio: upper limit (INSPIRE) / mass dependence (INSPIRE) / Yang-Mills (INSPIRE) / electron (INSPIRE) / CERN LHC Coll (INSPIRE) / flavor (INSPIRE) / experimental results (INSPIRE) / leptoquark --> top electron (INSPIRE) / leptoquark --> top muon (INSPIRE) / 13000 GeV-cms (INSPIRE)}, cin = {ATLAS}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)ATLAS-20120731}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF4-611)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-611}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-H253)LHC-Exp-ATLAS-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)25}, eprint = {2306.17642}, howpublished = {arXiv:2306.17642}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:2306.17642;\%\%$}, doi = {10.3204/PUBDB-2023-04994}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/588854}, }
