A search for pair-produced third generation scalar leptoquarks is presented, using proton?proton√collisions at s = 7 TeV at the LHC. The data were recorded with the ATLAS detector and correspondto an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb−1 . Each leptoquark is assumed to decay to a tau lepton and ab-quark with a branching fraction equal to 100%. No statistically significant excess above the Stan-dard Model expectation is observed. Third generation leptoquarks are therefore excluded at 95%confidence level for masses less than 534 GeV.
