The search uses 139fb(-1)of s root = 13 TeV proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider during Run 2. The dominant Standard Model background originates from multijet production and is estimated using a data-driven technique based on an extrapolation from events with low b-jet multiplicity to the high b-jet multiplicities used in the search. No significant excess over the Standard Model expectation is observed and 95{\%} confidence-level limits that constrain simplified models of R-parity-violating supersymmetry are determined. The exclusion limits reach 950 GeV in top-squark mass in the models considered.", optnote="WOS:000610446600001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4690), last updated on Thu, 11 Feb 2021 11:43:51 +0000", issn="1434-6044", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-08730-0", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.01015", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-08730-0", language="English" }
