摘要：

We confront the indications of lepton flavor universality (LFU) violation observed in semi-tauonicBmeson decays with new physics (NP) searches using highpTtau leptons at the LHC. Using effective field theory arguments we correlate possible non-standard contributions to semi-tauonic charged currents with theτ+τ−signature at high energy hadron colliders. Several representative standard model extensions put forward to explain the anomaly are examined in detail: (i) weak triplet of color-neutral vector resonances, (ii) second Higgs doublet and (iii) scalar or (iv) vector leptoquark. We find that, in general,τ+τ−searches pose a serious challenge to NP explanations of the LFU anomaly. Recasting existing 8 TeV and 13 TeV LHC analyses, stringent limits are set on all considered simplified models. Future projections of theτ+τ−constraints as well as caveats in interpreting them within more elaborate models are also discussed.
