Description

We present the current exclusion limits for vector-like quarks (VLQs) of bottom (B) and top (T) types, based on combined ATLAS and CMS data from the LHC. For B-type VLQs, pair production excludes masses up to 1.52 TeV in doublet scenarios, while single production limits the mixing parameter κ to values between 0.2 and 0.7. For T-type VLQs, pair production excludes masses up to 1.49 TeV, with single production constraining κ to less than 0.26 at 1.5 TeV and up to 0.42 at 2 TeV. These results, obtained using the VLQBounds tool, highlight the increasing sensitivity of single production at higher masses.
