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.

Observed and expected numbers of events in the three signal regions. The background category "h (other)" includes events originating from VBF, Vh, ggF, thq, thW and bb&#772;h, all subdominant in this signature. The table also includes model-independent 95% CL upper limits on the visible number of BSM events (S⁹⁵_obs), the number of BSM events given the expected number of background events (S⁹⁵_exp) and the visible BSM cross-section (&lang;&epsilon; &sigma;&rang;_obs⁹⁵), all calculated from pseudo-experiments. The discovery p-value (p₀) is also shown and its value is capped at 0.5 if the observed number of events is below the expected number of events.

Cutflows of two benchmark signal points assuming B(&chi;&#771;⁰₁ &rarr; hG&#771; )=100% for all three discovery signal regions. The initial selection includes the leptons veto. Only statistical uncertainties are included. Expected yields are normalised to a luminosity of 139 fb^-1.

Observed event yields in $\textrm{SR}$ compared with post-fit expectations from Monte Carlo simulations, as a function of the scalar sum of lepton and jet transverse momenta, $H_{\mathrm{T}}$. The last bin includes overflow events. `Signal (prod.)' and `Signal (dec.)' refer to the single-top-quark production and top-quark pair decay signal contributions, respectively.

The table shows the endpoint values of $\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{t}\to\mu\tau\mathrm{u})$ and $\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{t}\to\mu\tau\mathrm{c})$, which are interpolated linearly for each limit.

Expected and observed 95$\%$ CL upper limits on the Wilson coefficients for scalar, vector and tensor couplings of a top quark to a muon and a tau lepton through a cLFV process.

Theoretical cross-sections for single-top-quark production and top-quark decays through cLFV interactions involving vector, scalar and tensor EFT Wilson coefficients. The column titled as $c^{(ijk3)}_{\textrm{vector}}$ represents the individual cross-section contributions from each of $c_{\mathsf{lq}}^{-(ijk3)}$, $c_{\mathsf{eq}}^{(ijk3)}$, $c_{\mathsf{lu}}^{(ijk3)}$ and $c_{\mathsf{eu}}^{(ijk3)}$. The coefficient indices represent the lepton flavour generations ($i,j = 1,2,3$ where $i \neq j$) and light quark flavour generations ($k = 1,2$). The single-top-quark production cross-sections are quoted for $u$- and $c$-quark couplings separately, while they are combined for the $t\bar{t}$ decay process ($q_k = u,c$). The scale and PDF uncertainties are given. The value of each Wilson coefficient is set to 1.0 for the calculation of the cross-section.

Requirements for each analysis region. The symbol $\ell_{3}$ denotes the lowest $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ lepton. In $\mathrm{CR}t\bar{t}\mu$ an additional requirement is placed on the leading muon $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ ($p^{\mu_1}_\mathrm{T}$) and dilepton invariant masses in order to reject signal events.

Post-fit event yields for each analysis region entering the fit, with correlations on the full systematic uncertainties taken into account as determined in the fit under a signal+background hypothesis. The 'fake electron' category in the CR$t\bar{t}\mu$ control region collects small contributions primarily from $t\bar{t}\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ which enter the event selection due to photon conversions.

Expected and observed 95$\%$ CL upper limits on Wilson coefficients corresponding to 2Q2L EFT operators which could introduce a cLFV top decay in the $\mu\tau$ channel, and existing limits from JHEP04 (2019) 014 (previous). The previous limits shown for $c^{1(ijk3)}_{\mathsf{lequ}}$ and $c^{3(ijk3)}_{\mathsf{lequ}}$ are tightened by a factor of $\sqrt{2}$, as JHEP04 (2019) 014 does not assume that these operators are Hermitian. Results are shown separately for the $\mu\tau ut$ and $\mu\tau ct$ interactions. The lepton generations are denoted by $i,j=2,3$ for $\mu$ and $\tau$ (where $i \neq j$) and the quark generations are denoted by $k=1,2$ for $u$ and $c$, respectively.

Ranking of nuisance parameters by post-fit impact on cLFV signal strength $\mu$ (the parameter of interest, POI). The pre-fit (post-fit) impact of each nuisance parameter is calculated as the difference to the fitted value of cLFV signal strength between the nominal fit and a fit when fixing the corresponding nuisance parameter to $\hat{\theta}\pm\Delta\theta$ ($\hat{\theta}\pm\Delta\hat{\theta}$), where $\hat{\theta}$ is the best-fit value of the nuisance parameter and $\Delta\theta$ ($\Delta\hat{\theta}$) is its pre-fit (post-fit) uncertainty. The pulls of the nuisance parameters are calculated relative to zero. These pulls and their post-fit errors, $\Delta\hat{\theta} / \Delta\theta$, are given in the second column of the table.

The efficiency $\epsilon$ of the Intermediate $Wh$ signal region SR-Wh-LM in models of the production of $\tilde{\chi}_1^{\pm}\tilde{\chi}_2^0$ decaying via $Wh$.

The acceptance $A$ of the Intermediate $Wh$ signal region SR-Wh-HM in models of the production of $\tilde{\chi}_1^{\pm}\tilde{\chi}_2^0$ decaying via $Wh$.

The efficiency $\epsilon$ of the Intermediate $Wh$ signal region SR-Wh-HM in models of the production of $\tilde{\chi}_1^{\pm}\tilde{\chi}_2^0$ decaying via $Wh$.

Cutflow event yields of the Intermediate $Wh$ SRs in models of the production of $\tilde{\chi}_1^{\pm}\tilde{\chi}_2^0$ decaying via $Wh$. All yields correspond to weighted events, so that effects from reconstruction efficiencies, trigger corrections, pileup reweighting, etc., are included. They are normalised to the integrated luminosity of the data sample, $\int L dt = 139$ fb$^{-1}$. The preliminary event reduction is a centralised stage requiring the event to: have one single lepton and two hadronically decaying medium taus; be selected and matched by the single lepton trigger with plateau cuts.
