D 99, 032014 (2019)2470-00102470-0029https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.99.032014A search for pair production of second-generation leptoquarks is performed using proton-proton collision data collected at ? s = 13 TeV in 2016 with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb?1 . Final states with two muons and two jets, or with one muon, two jets, and missing transverse momentum are considered. Second-generation scalar leptoquarks with masses less than 1530 (1285) GeV are excluded for ? = 1.0 (0.5), where ? is the branching fraction for the decay of a leptoquark to a charged lepton and a quark. The results of the search are also interpreted as limits on the pair production of long-lived top squarks in an R-parity violating supersymmetry model that has a final state with two muons and two jets. These limits represent the most stringent limits to date on these odels.enHigh Energy Physics - ExperimentArticle10.1103/PhysRevD.99.0320142-s2.0-85062629289Q1WOS:000459908000001Q1
