Abstract

Final states with electrons, muons and hadronically decaying tau leptons are considered (<jats:italic>eμ</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>eτ</jats:italic> or <jats:italic>μτ</jats:italic>). No significant excess over the Standard Model predictions is observed. Upper limits on the production cross-section are set as a function of the mass of a <jats:italic>Z</jats:italic>′ boson, a supersymmetric <jats:italic>τ</jats:italic>-sneutrino, and a quantum black-hole. The observed 95% CL lower mass limits obtained on a typical benchmark model <jats:italic>Z</jats:italic>′ boson are 5.0 TeV (e<jats:italic>μ</jats:italic>), 4.0 TeV (e<jats:italic>τ</jats:italic>), and 3.9 TeV (<jats:italic>μτ</jats:italic>), respectively.</jats:p>
