Description

While the hunt for new states beyond the standard model (SM) goes on for various well motivated theories, the leptoquarks are among the most appealing scenarios at recent times due to a series of tensions observed in B−decays. We consider two scalar leptoquarks, one being a singlet and the other a triplet under the electroweak gauge group, and respectively contributes to charged and neutral current B-decays. The final state consisting of a b and τ jets provides highest reach for the singlet leptoquark whereas for the triplet leptoquark 1 − jet + 2μ+ ̸pT topology is the most optimistic signature at the hadron colliders. Various distinguishing signatures are studied which can easily discriminate different components of the triplet leptoquark. Establishing a direct connection with the neutral current B-anomalies, we perform simulations for these leptoquarks at the proposed multi-TeV muon collider where the background free environment can probe O(10−2) value of the leptoquark couplings to fermions up to the 10 TeV leptoquark mass range
