Abstract

Abstract Given the hints of lepton-flavour non-universality in B-meson decays, leptoquarks (LQs) are enjoying a renaissance. We propose novel Large Hadron Collider (LHC) searches for such hypothetical states that do not rely on strong production only, but can also receive important contributions from quark-lepton annihilation. For the cases of a resonant signal involving a bottom quark and a tau lepton (b + τ), a top quark and missing transverse energy ($$ {E}_T^{\mathrm{miss}} $$ E T miss ) and light-flavour jets plus $$ {E}_T^{\mathrm{miss}} $$ E T miss , we develop realistic analysis strategies and provide detailed evaluations of the achievable sensitivities for the corresponding LQ signatures at future LHC runs. Our analyses allow us to derive a series of stringent constraints on the masses and couplings of third-generation singlet vector LQs, showing that at LHC Run III and the high-luminosity LHC the proposed search channels can probe interesting parts of the LQ parameter space addressing the B-physics anomalies. In view of the reach of the proposed b + τ signature, we recommend that dedicated resonance searches for this final state should be added to the exotics search canon of both ATLAS and CMS.
