| Abstract: A search for pair production of leptoquarks each decaying to a muon and a b quark is performed using proton-proton collision data collected at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV in 2016-2018 with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $. Scalar leptoquarks with masses less than 1810 GeV are excluded, assuming a 100% branching fraction of the leptoquark to a muon and a b quark. These limits represent the most stringent limits to date on leptoquarks decaying to muons and b quarks. | ||
