Search for pair production of scalar and vector leptoquarks decaying to muons and bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
A search for pair production of scalar and vector leptoquarks (LQs) each decaying to a muon and a bottom quark is performed using proton-proton collision data collected at root s = 13 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1). No excess above standard model expectation is observed. Scalar (vector) LQs with masses less than 1810 (2120) GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level, assuming a 100% branching fraction of the LQ decaying to a muon and a bottom quark. These limits represent the most stringent to date.
