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

A search for a heavy W0 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 √ s = 13 T...
