The data sample, collected in 2011, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.08 and 1.21 fb(-1) in the e(+)e(-) and mu(+)mu(-) channels, respectively. No significant deviations from the standard model are observed. Using a Bayesian approach with a prior flat in 1/A(2), the following 95{\%} CL lower limits are placed on the energy scale of llqq contact interactions: A(-) > 10.1 TeV (A(+) > 9.4 TeV) in the electron channel and A(-) > 8.0 TeV (A(+) > 7.0 TeV) in the muon channel for constructive (destructive) interference in the left-left isoscalar contact interaction model. Limits are also provided for a prior flat in 1/A(4).", optnote="WOS:000304742500006", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1050), last updated on Mon, 02 Jul 2012 17:57:19 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2012.04.026", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1112.4462", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2012.04.026", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1112.4462", language="English" }
