Description
A search for pair production of scalar and vector leptoquarks each decaying to a muon and a bottom quark is presented, using proton-proton collision data collected at √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, and scalar (vector) LQs with masses less than 1810 (2120) GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level - the most stringent limits to date. Future analysis prospects are explored, including novel search techniques, searches for single production of leptoquarks, and wider coverage of intergenerational leptoquark decays.
