Description
Evidence for electron-muon universality violation that has been revealed in b→sℓℓ transitions in the observables $R_{K,K^\ast}$ by the LHCb Collaboration can be explained with spin-1 leptoquarks in $SU(2)_L$ singlet $V_1$ or triplet $V_3$ representations in the $\mathcal{O}(1−10)$ TeV range. We explore the sensitivity of the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and future proton-proton colliders to $V_1$ and $V_3$ in the parameter space connected to $R_{K,K^\ast}$-data. Future sensitivity projections based on extrapolations of existing ATLAS and CMS searches are worked out. While there is the exciting possibility that leptoquarks addressing the $R_{K,K^\ast}$-anomalies are observed at the LHC, to fully cover the parameter space pp-collisions beyond the LHC-energies are needed.
