Total signal selection efficiency, defined as the number of events passing the selection divided by the number of generated events. Enhanced preselection is defined as preselection with the additional requirements m_uu>250 and m_uujj>m_lq. The discrete nature of the final selection for each LQ candidate mass produces the observed variation in the efficiency. Relative uncertainties are less than one percent in all cases.

Event yields in the combined 2016--2018 data at the final selection level.

The expected and observed upper limits at 95% CL on the product of the scalar LQ pair production cross section and the branching fractions β^2 as a function of mLQ. The solid lines represent the observed limits, the dashed lines represent the median expected limits, and the inner dark-green and outer light-yellow bands represent the 68% and 95% CL intervals. The σtheory curves and their blue bands represent the theoretical scalar LQ pair production cross sections and the uncertainties on the cross sections due to the PDF prediction and renormalization and factorization scales, respectively.

The expected and observed exclusion limits at 95% CL as a function of the leptoquark mass and the branching fraction β. The solid line represents the observed limits, the dashed line represents the median expected limits, and the inner dark-green and outer light-yellow bands represent the 68% and 95% CL intervals. The area below the observed limit is excluded.
