The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data at root s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb(-1) recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2015 and 2016. Two exclusive channels with either two hadronically decaying tau leptons or one hadronically and one leptonically decaying tau lepton are considered. No significant deviation from the Standard Model predictions is observed in the data. The analysis results are interpreted in terms of model-independent limits and used to derive exclusion limits on the masses of the top squark (t) over tilde (1) and the tau slepton (tau) over tilde (1) in a simplified model of supersymmetry with a nearly massless gravitino. In this model, masses up to m((t) over tilde (1)) = 1.16 TeV and m ((tau) over tilde (1)) = 1.00 TeV are excluded at 95{\%} confidence level.", optnote="WOS:000441858000001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3721), last updated on Tue, 18 Sep 2018 12:08:06 +0000", issn="2470-0010", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.98.032008", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1803.10178", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.98.032008", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1803.10178", language="English" }
