Abstract

Anomalies in recent LHCb, Belle and Babar measurements of RD()R_{D^{(*)}}, and RK()R_{K^{(*)}} in BB decays may indicate the new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). The leptoquarks (LQLQ) that couple to the 3rd3^{\mathrm{rd}} generation quarks and leptons have been proposed as a viable new physics (NP) explanation. Such left-handed LQLQs can couple to both bottom and top quarks. Since top particles decay before the hadronization, it is possible to reconstruct chirality of boosted top quarks and consequently the chirality of top coupling to the LQLQs. We perform analysis on the top quark's chirality in the pair-production channel of the LQLQ, which can be purely left-handed in comparison to unpolarized ttˉt\bar{t} SM background. We study the prospects of distinguishing the chirality of a potential LQLQ signal for the high luminosity run of the LHC and other future colliders.
