For t-channel mediators such as the U1 leptoquark, Drell-Yan EFT bounds are accurate at the 10% level for masses above about 1.5 TeV when the series is truncated at amplitude level, while s-channel mediators need E much smaller than Lambda.

abstract
We revisit the constraints on semileptonic operators derived from the mono-$\tau$ high-$p_T$ events in $pp$ collisions at LHC. Like in previous studies, we obtain limits on the New Physics couplings from the CMS data much stronger than from the ATLAS data, despite a nearly equal integrated luminosity. We find that a neglected systematics on the $\tau$ lepton reconstruction efficiency can partly explain that difference. We then provide new limits on the New Physics couplings relevant to decays based on $b\to c\tau\bar{\nu}$ by using the recent ATLAS data with 139 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$. We also show that the inclusion of propagation of the New Physics particle can significantly worsen the bounds obtained by relying on Effective Field Theoretical treatment of New Physics.

On the EFT validity for Drell-Yan tails at the LHC
For t-channel mediators such as the U1 leptoquark, Drell-Yan EFT bounds are accurate at the 10% level for masses above about 1.5 TeV when the series is truncated at amplitude level, while s-channel mediators need E much smaller than Lambda.
