Search for Lepton Flavor Violation in the $e\mu$ Continuum with the ATLAS detector

We present a search for the $t$-channel exchange of a lepton flavor violating scalar top quark in the $e\mu$ continuum using 2.08 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the ATLAS detector in $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV $pp$ collisions at the LHC from March to June 2011. Data are found to be consistent with the standard model background. The 95\% CL upper limits on the production cross section of the scalar top quark are set. The observed cross section limit extends from 150 fb for $M_{\tilde{t}}=95$ GeV to 80 fb for $M_{\tilde{t}}=225$ GeV. In addition, limits on the sum of R-parity violating coupling constants are calculated as a function of scalar top mass.
