Description
We present results of searches for vector-like quarks using proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Single and pair production of vector-like quarks are studied, with decays into a variety of final states, containing top and bottom quarks, electroweak gauge and Higgs bosons. The presented searches make use of a wide variety of reconstructed objects, allowing to explore diverse signatures from multi-leptonic to fully hadronic. We set exclusion limits on the vector-like quark masses and cross sections, and for combinations of the vector-like quark branching ratios.
