Abstract

The vector-like quarks are predicted in many new physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model~(SM) and could be seen potential signatures of new physics at the TeV energy scale. In this work, we study single production of exotic singlet and doublet vectorlike bottom quarks (VLQ-BB) at future Compact Linear Collider~(CLIC) via the process e+eBbˉe^{+}e^{-}\to B\bar{b} with the decay channel BbZB\to bZ and two types of modes: Z+Z\to \ell^{+}\ell^{-} and ZννˉZ\to \nu\bar{\nu}. We calculate the cross sections of signal and relevant SM backgrounds. After a fast simulation of the signal and background events, the exclusion limit at 95\% confidence level and 5σ5\sigma discovery prospects on the parameters (the coupling strength κB\kappa_{B} and the VLQ-BB mass) have been, respectively, presented at the future CLIC with centre of mass energy s=3\sqrt{s}=3 TeV and integrated luminosity of 5~ab1^{-1}.
