Exploring vector-like $B$-quark pair production at CLIC in fully hadronic final states

We investigate the discovery potential of the 3 TeV Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) for a singlet vector-like bottom partner $B$ decaying via $B \to tW$. Focusing on the fully hadronic final state $B\bar{B} \to tW tW$, we reconstruct boosted top and $W$ candidates using large-$R$ Valencia jets, supplemented by a merging strategy for partially resolved decays. A systematic scan of the jet-radius parameter identifies $R=0.8$ as the optimal choice, balancing boosted-jet containment with jet multiplicity. Using a cut-based analysis optimized for the $(2t+2W)$ topology and an integrated luminosity of $5~{\rm ab}^{-1}$, CLIC can achieve sensitivity to $m_B \lesssim 1.5~{\rm TeV}$. These results highlight CLIC's excellent capability to probe heavy vector-like quarks in high jet multiplicity environments, extending well beyond the reach of current hadron collider searches.
