Why it is here

Links an inelastic recoil fit to nonstandard quark Yukawa couplings testable at colliders.

Machine-assisted summary

The author fits the recoil with two nearly degenerate vector-like fermions coupled through a scalar portal, requiring flavor-specific departures in quark Yukawa couplings that can arise from a dimension-six operator below roughly 10 TeV.
