Distribution of $E_{\text{T}}^{\text{miss}}$ in SROS-on-b-$e\mu\mu$. The SR selections are applied for each distribution, except for the variable shown, for which the selection is indicated by a black arrow. The last bin includes the overflow. The `Others' category contains the production of Higgs boson, 3-top, 4-top, and single-top processes. Distributions for SBH signals are overlaid. The bottom panels show the ratio of the observed data to the predicted total background yields. The hatched band includes all statistical and systematic uncertainties.

Observed ($N_{\text{obs}}$) and expected ($N_{\text{exp}}$) yields after the background-only fit for the flavor-merged inclusive SRs. The third and fourth columns list the 95\% CL upper limits on the visible cross-section ($\sigma_{\text{vis}}^{95}$) and on the number of signal events ($S_\text{obs}^{95}$). The fifth column ($S_\text{exp}^{95}$) shows the 95\% CL upper limit on the number of signal events, given the expected number of background events and its $\pm 1\sigma$ variations. The last two columns indicate the CL$_{\text{b}}$ value, i.e. the confidence level observed for the background-only hypothesis, and the discovery $p$-value ($p(s = 0)$) with its associated statistical significance $Z$. If the observed yield is below the expected yield, the $p$-value is capped at 0.5.

Measured values of $R(\tau/e)$ in the different $p_T$ bins. The first row gives the main inclusive measurement of $R(\tau/e)$.

Breakdown of systematic uncertainties in the fit to data. Different individual components used in the fit are combined into categories. The size of the impact each group of uncertainties has on $R(\tau/e)$, which is shown in the second column, is assessed by subtracting in quadrature the uncertainty from the nominal fit and the fit with the relevant nuisance parameters fixed to their post-fit values. The group 'Other sources' includes the uncertainties due to trigger, JVT, luminosity, and pile-up.

The bottom panels show the ratio of the data to the simulation prediction after the fit.

Signal selection efficiency times acceptance for charged Higgs boson with masses between $60\,$GeV to $168\,$GeV. The efficiency times acceptance drops at high masses rapidly due to the low momentum of the $b$-quark produced together with the charged Higgs boson. For the $168\,$GeV mass point the efficiency times acceptance is larger than for the $160\,$GeV mass point due to having a higher probability that the top quark, which decays into the charged Higgs boson and a $b$-quark, is off-shell.

Weights from b tagging efficiency ratios as functions of the five-jet invariant mass in 2018 data for the high-mass selection, connecting the 2M1L and 3M regions. The red line corresponds to the central value of the transfer function and the shaded area represents the 95% confidence level uncertainty band. For the high-mass analysis only signals with mass above 800GeV are tested, so primarily the lower part of the distribution contributes to the final result.

The solid red curves show the theoretical expectation at LO.

Weights from b tagging efficiency ratios as functions of the five-jet invariant mass in 2016 data for the low-mass selection, connecting the 2M1L and 3M regions. The red line corresponds to the central value of the transfer function and the shaded area represents the 95% confidence level uncertainty band. For the low-mass analysis only signals with mass below 800GeV are tested, so primarily the lower part of the distribution contributes to the final result.

Background: Five-jet invariant mass distributions after a background-only fit (blue histogram) to the complete dataset (black markers) in the 2M1L regions for the low-mass selections. The dashed blue band represents the uncertainty on the fitted background estimate, and red dashed line shows the expected signal distribution for a 700 GeV T'. The fit is performed on the combined data from all 3 years in the tZ and tH channel.
