Description
Several searches for new particles with taus are presented. Leptoquarks that couple strongly to the third generation may explain long-standing anomalies observed in B physics. Searches for both singly and doubly produced leptoquarks have been carried out with LHC run 2 data. In addition, searches for scalar partners of the tau, as predicted in supersymmetric models, for new gauge bosons (W' to tau nu, Z' to tau tau), for additional Higgs bosons, and for other phenomena with taus in the final state are discussed.
