Abstract

The first search for scalar leptoquarks produced in τ-lepton–quark collisions is presented. It is based on a
set of proton-proton collision data recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of
13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. The reconstructed final state consists of a
jet, significant missing transverse momentum, and a τ lepton reconstructed through its hadronic or leptonic
decays. Limits are set on the product of the leptoquark production cross section and branching fraction and
interpreted as exclusions in the plane of the leptoquark mass and the leptoquark-τ-quark coupling strength.
