Events in which at least one $\tau$-lepton decays hadronically are considered, and multivariate discriminants are used to extract the signals. No significant deviations from the Standard Model expectation are observed and 95{\%} confidence-level upper limits on the production cross-section are derived as a function of leptoquark mass and branching ratio B into a $\tau$-lepton and b-quark. For scalar leptoquarks, masses below 1460 GeV are excluded assuming B=100{\%}, while for vector leptoquarks the corresponding limit is 1650 GeV (1910 GeV) in the minimal-coupling (Yang-Mills) scenario.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=6097), last updated on Fri, 26 Apr 2024 16:13:45 +0000", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-023-12104-7", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.01294", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-023-12104-7" }
