Description

We investigate the sensitivity of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) at √s = 3 TeV to heavy vector-like B quarks produced in pairs and decaying via B → bh and B → bZ in fully hadronic channels. A cut-based analysis is performed in both boosted Higgs and Z channels. We find that CLIC can achieve high statistical significance for VLQ-B masses in the TeV range and exclude masses up to about 1.5 TeV at 95% confidence level. Compared with current LHC and HL-LHC projections, a significant improvement in sensitivity is obtained.
