abstract = {A search for charged-lepton flavour violation (CLFV) in top
quark (t) production and decay is presented. The search uses
proton-proton collision data corresponding to 138
fb$^{−1}$ collected with the CMS experiment at
$\sqrt{s}={13}$ TeV. The signal consists of the production
of a single top quark via a CLFV interaction or top quark
pair production followed by a CLFV decay. The analysis
selects events containing a hadronically decaying τ lepton
and a muon of opposite electric charge, as well as at least
three jets, one of which is identified as originating from
the fragmentation of a bottom quark. Machine learning
classification techniques are used to distinguish signal
from standard model background events. The results of this
search are consistent with the standard model expectations.
The upper limits at 95\% confidence level on the branching
fraction $\mathcal{B}$ for CLFV top quark decays to a muon,
a τ lepton, and an up or a charm quark are set at
$\mathcal{B}\left({\text{t}}\to \mu \tau {\text{u}}\right)$
< (0.04, 0.08, and 0.12) × 10$^{−6}$, and
$\mathcal{B}\left({\text{t}}\to \mu \tau {\text{c}}\right)$
< (0.81, 1.71, and 2.05) × 10$^{−6}$ for scalar, vector,
and tensor-like operators, respectively.[graphic not
