Description

Based on https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.06742.

The analysis targets events containing two muons with the same electric charge, a hadronically decaying τ-lepton and at least one jet, with exactly one b-tagged jet, produced by a μτqt interaction. Agreement with the Standard Model expectation within 1.6σ is observed, and limits are set at the 95% CL on the charged-lepton-flavour violation branching ratio of B(t→μτq) < 8.7×10−7. An Effective Field Theory interpretation is performed yielding 95% CL limits on Wilson coefficients, dependent on the flavour of the associated light quark and the Lorentz structure of the coupling.
