title = "Search for quantum black hole production in lepton+jet final states using proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector",
abstract = "A search for quantum black holes in electron+jet and muon+jet invariant mass spectra is performed with 140 fb−1 of data collected by the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed invariant mass spectrum of lepton+jet pairs is consistent with Standard Model expectations. Upper limits are set at 95% confidence level on the production cross-sections times branching fractions for quantum black holes decaying into a lepton and a quark in a search region with invariant mass above 2.0 TeV. The resulting quantum black hole lower mass threshold limit is 9.2 TeV in the Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali model, and 6.8 TeV in the Randall-Sundrum model.",
