Vector-like quarks (VLQs) that are partners of the heavy top and bottom quarks are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model (SM). We explore the possibility that these states could explain not only the longstanding anomaly in the…
The LHC search strategies for leptoquarks that couple dominantly to a top quark are different than for the ones that couple mostly to the light quarks. We consider charge $1/3$ ($\phi_1$) and $5/3$ ($\phi_5$) scalar leptoquarks that can…
Many scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model that address the hierarchy problem also predict the existence of vector-like top quark partners, which are generally expected around the TeV scale. In this paper, we propose to search for…
