Search for vector-like bottom quark via Zb production at the LHC

Vector-like quarks (VLQs) are predicted in many new physics scenarios beyond the standard model (SM). We consider a search strategy for vector-like bottom quark (VLQ-B) at the LHC in a model independent fashion. Our analysis is based on single production of VLQ-B with decaying to the Zb mode. The pr...
