The search focuses on top-quark pair production where one top quark decays to qX, with X -> b (b) over bar, and the other top quark decays according to the Standard Model, with the W boson decaying leptonically. The final state is thus characterised by an isolated electron or muon and at least four jets. Events are categorised according to the multiplicity of jets and jets tagged as originating from b-quarks, and a neural network is used to discriminate between signal and background processes. The data analysed correspond to 139 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The 95{\%} confidence-level upper limits between 0.019{\%} and 0.062{\%} are derived for the branching fraction B(t -> uX) and between 0.018{\%} and 0.078{\%} for the branching fraction B(t -> cX), for masses of the scalar particle X between 20 and 160 GeV.", optnote="WOS:001061847500001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5726), last updated on Wed, 01 Nov 2023 16:41:51 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP07(2023)199", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.03902", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP07(2023)199", language="English" }
