Search for scalar leptoquarks in pp collisions at √S = 13TeV with the ATLAS experiment

An inclusive search for a new-physics signature of lepton-jet resonances has been performed by the ATLAS experiment. Scalar leptoquarks, pair-produced in pp collisions at s √S13 TeV at the large hadron collider, have been considered. An integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb −1 , corresponding to the full...
