Abstract
Searches for pair production of scalar leptoquarks performed by the ATLAS experiment at Large Hadron Collider are presented. The full Run-2 dataset of $pp$ collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector is exploited, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$. Three classes of final states are considered: an oppositely-charged same-flavour light-lepton pair (either two electrons or two muons) and two jets to search for leptoquarks decaying into a jet and a light-lepton; light-leptons and at least one hadronically decaying $\tau$-lepton, which is optimised for a search for leptoquarks decaying into a top-quark and a $\tau$-lepton; an oppositely-charged same-flavour light-lepton pair and two large-radius jets as from decay products of boosted top quarks for leptoquarks decaying into a top-quark and a light-lepton. Various leptoquark models resulting in different choices of quark- and lepton-generations in the decays are tested. No significant excesses above the Standard Model expectations are observed in any of the considered final states, and 95% CL upper limits are set on the production cross-section as a function of the leptoquark mass and the branching fraction, where the branching fraction is considered between two decay modes with charged-leptons and neutrinos for given configurations of quark- and lepton-generations. Under the assumption of the branching fraction into a charged lepton and a quark of 100%, leptoquarks with masses below 1.4 -1.8 TeV are excluded, depending on the leptoquark models.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and readers, and in "proceeding" format which is more detailed and complete.
