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.

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.
