Description
The Standard Model of particle physics explains many natural phenomena yet remains incomplete. Leptoquarks (LQs) are hypothetical particles predicted to mediate interactions between quarks and leptons, bridging the gap between these two fundamental classes of particles. Vector-like quarks (VLQs) and vector-like leptons (VLLs) lie at the heart of many extensions seeking to address the Hierarchy Problem, as they can naturally cancel the mass divergence for the Higgs boson. This talk will present new results from LQ and VLQ searches with the ATLAS detector as well as heavy fermion searches with the CMS detector using proton-proton collision datasets at the LHC.
