Search for a W' boson decaying to a vector-like quark and a top or bottom quark in the all-jets final state

Understand

A search for a heavy W' resonance decaying to one B or T vector-like quark and a top or bottom quark, respectively, is presented.

• The search uses proton-proton collision data collected in 2016 with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV.
• Both decay channels result in a final state with a top quark, a Higgs boson, and a b quark, each produced with significant energy.
• The all-hadronic decays of both the Higgs boson and the top quark are considered.
