The search is carried out in 139 fb(-1) of root s = 13 TeV proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC between 2015 and 2018. No significant deviation from the Standard Model background prediction is observed, and mass-dependent exclusion limits at the 95{\%} confidence level are set on the resonance production cross-section in several theoretical scenarios determined by the couplings c(W), c(Z) and c(H) between the B quark and the Standard Model W, Z and Higgs bosons, respectively. For a vector-like B occurring as an isospin singlet, the search excludes values of c(W) greater than 0.45 for a B resonance mass (m(B)) between 1.0 and 1.2 TeV. For 1.2 TeV < m(B)< 2.0 TeV, c(W) values larger than 0.50-0.65 are excluded. If the B occurs as part of a (B, Y) doublet, the smallest excluded c(Z) coupling values range between 0.3 and 0.5 across the investigated resonance mass range 1.0 TeV < m(B)< 2.0 TeV.", optnote="WOS:001127934400001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5924), last updated on Sun, 11 Feb 2024 18:37:19 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP11(2023)168", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.02595", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP11(2023)168", language="English" }
