The timing distribution of the background sources predicted to contribute to the signal region, compared to those for a representative signal model. The time is defined by the jet in the event with the largest $t_{\mathrm{jet}}$ passing the relevant selection.

The expected and observed combined upper limits on the third-generation LQ pair production cross section $\sigma$ times the square of the branching fraction, $\mathcal{B}^2$, at 95% CL, as a function of the LQ mass. These limits also apply to top squarks decaying directly via the coupling $\lambda^{\prime}_{333}$.

The expected and observed combined upper limits on the top squark pair production cross section $\sigma$ times the square of the branching fraction, $\mathcal{B}^2$, at 95% CL, as a function of the top squark mass. These limits apply to top squarks with a chargino-mediated decay through the coupling $\lambda^{\prime}_{3jk}$.

The expected and observed 95% CL upper limits on the branching fraction for the leptoquark decay to a tau lepton and a bottom quark, as a function of the leptoquark mass. A search for top squark pair production [EPJC 73(2013)2677] has the same kinematic signature as the leptoquark decay to a tau neutrino and a top quark. This search is reinterpreted to provide the expected and observed 95% CL upper limits for low values of $\mathcal{B}$, assuming the leptoquark only decays to third-generation fermions.
