Search for Single Production of Vector-Like Quarks Decaying into a b Quark and a W Boson in Proton-proton Collisions at √s = 13 TeV

A search is presented for a heavy vector-like quark, decaying into a b quark and a W boson, which is produced singly in association with a light flavor quark and a b quark. The analysis is performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV collected a...
