Signal selection efficiency ($\epsilon$) times acceptance ($A$) as a function of $H^{\pm}$. The estimated $\epsilon\times A$ arises from the lepton selection and triggering (∼30%) as well as jet selection and flavour tagging (∼10% or lower). The decrease of $\epsilon\times A$ for $m_{H^{\pm}}$ = 120 GeV and higher is expected from the kinematic constraint on the $H^{\pm}$ decay products due to the top-quark mass.

The predicted LQ cross section at LO in the three coupling benchmark scenarios is depicted in different colors for $g_{U}=1$. The uncertainty bandy correspond to the sum in quadrature of PDF and scale variations. The first benchmark scenario considers only couplings to left-handed SM fermions (i.e. $\beta_{\text{R}}^{ij}=0$) and is referred to as "best fit LH". The second benchmark, referred to as "best fit LH+RH", considers $|\beta_{\text{R}}^{\text{b}\tau}|=1$ and all other $\beta_{\text{R}}^{ij}=0$. In the third "democratic" benchmark, equal couplings only to LH fermions are assumed, i.e. $\beta_{\text{L}}^{ij}=1$ and $\beta_{\text{R}}^{ij}=0$ for all $i$ and $j$.

Predicted signal yields for the 2017 data-taking period, corresponding to 41.3 fb$^{-1}$, after the application of each search requirement (cumulative) for various signal hypothesis. The requirements listed are presented as total efficiencies w.r.t. the previous selection step.

Cumulative efficiency for simulated signal events to pass each stage of the event selection in the hadhad category. The efficiencies are calculated with respect to HH to bbtautau decays in which both tau-leptons decay hadronically. The ‘Pre-selection’ consists of basic requirements, including that at least two tau-had-vis pass loose kinematic requirements, at least one of the tau-had-vis candidate passes identification requirement, and that events do not contain an electron or muon. The ‘Object selections’ require exactly two tau-had-vis candidates, and at least two jets with pT > 25 GeV and abs(eta) < 2.5. The ‘Loose tau ID’ requires that both tau-had-vis candidates pass identification requirements. The ‘DTT offline jet cuts’ are cuts placed on the pT of the reconstructed jet or tau-had-vis that are geometrically matched to the HLT objects, to ensure the efficiencies of the HLT objects reach the plateau region.

Cumulative efficiency for simulated signal events to pass each stage of the event selection in the lephad SLT category. The efficiencies are calculated with respect to HH to bbtautau decays in which one tau-lepton decays hadronically and one decays leptonically. The ‘Pre-selection’ consists of basic requirements, including that at least one tau-had-vis candidate and one lepton pass loose kinematic requirements. The ‘Object selections’ require exactly one tau-had-vis candidate, and at least two jets with pT > 25 GeV and abs(eta) < 2.5. The ‘Trigger specific offline pT cuts’ are cuts placed on the pT of the reconstructed jet or tau-had-vis that are geometrically matched to the HLT objects, to ensure the efficiencies of the HLT objects reach the plateau region.

The OS or SS refers to the charge signs of the primary lepton and the soft muon. The gamma parameters are NPs used to describe the effect of the limited statistics of the samples.
