Review of CMS searches for Vector-like Quarks in Run 2

ORAL

Abstract

The CMS experiment has recently published a review of all searches for vector-like quarks using Run 2 data, include two new combinations of these searches. I will present these combinations and how they contribute to the overall status of vector-like quark searches from CMS. Summaries of all results for pair-produced and singly-produced vector-like quarks will be discussed, celebrating the techniques that have been used to explore the Run 2 dataset and stretch sensitivity far beyond the range achieved in Run 1.

Publication: CMS Collaboration, "Review of searches for vector-like quarks, vector-like leptons, and heavy neutral leptons in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV at the CMS experiment", to appear in Physics Reports, https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.17605.
