dc.description.abstractA search for nonresonant new physics phenomena in high-mass dilepton events produced in association with b-tagged jets is performed using proton-proton collision data collected in 2016-2018 by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1). The analysis considers two effective field theory models with dimension-six operators; involving four-fermion contact interactions between two leptons (ll, electrons or muons) and b or s quarks (bb ll and bs ll). Two lepton flavor combinations (ee and mu mu) are required and events are classified as having 0, 1, or >= 2 b-tagged jets in the final state. No significant excess is observed over the standard model backgrounds. Upper limits are set on the production cross section of the new physics signals. These translate into lower limits on the energy scale. of 6.9 to 9.0TeV in the bb ll model, depending on model parameters, and on the ratio of energy scale and effective coupling, Lambda/g(*), of 2.0 to 2.6TeV in the bs ll model. Lepton flavor universality is also tested by comparing the dielectron (ee) and dimuon (mu mu) mass spectra for different b-tagged jet multiplicities. No significant deviation from the standard model expectation of unity is observed.
