“…The prediction of VLQs is not exclusive to the model under consideration. In fact, the existence of such states has been predicted by a series of distinct models in previous literature, such as in E 6 -inspired string and GUT models [40,41] or in other extensions to the SM [42,43]. However, unlike VLLs, from an experimental point-of-view, there is also a good history of searches, in particular, at the LHC (see, for example, [44][45][46]), where the current constraints on parameter space constrain the VLQ masses to be between 690 GeV up to 1.85 TeV (for current constraints, as of March 2021, see the summary plots in [47]).…”
