The study uses proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Model-independent limits are derived on the number of signal events with exactly one or more than one b quark jet. Results are also interpreted in a lepton-flavor-universal model with Z′ boson couplings to a bb quark pair (gb), an sb quark pair (gbδbs), and any same-flavor charged lepton (gℓ) or neutrino pair (gν), with |gν| = |gℓ|. For a Z′ boson with a mass mZ′ = 350 GeV (2 TeV) and |δbs| &lt; 0.25, the majority of the parameter space with 0.0057 &lt; |gℓ| &lt; 0.35 (0.25 &lt; |gℓ| &lt; 0.43) and 0.0079 &lt; |gb| &lt; 0.46 (0.34 &lt; |gb| &lt; 0.57) is excluded at 95% confidence level. Finally, constraints are set on a Z′ model with parameters consistent with low-energy b → sℓℓ measurements. In this scenario, most of the allowed parameter space is excluded for a Z′ boson with 350 &lt; mZ′ &lt; 500 GeV, while the constraints are less stringent for higher mZ′ hypotheses. This is the first dedicated search at the LHC for a high-mass dimuon resonance produced in association with multiple b quark jets, and the constraints obtained on models with this signature are the most stringent to date. © The Author(s) 2023.</dc:description><dc:publisher>Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH</dc:publisher><dc:date>2023</dc:date><dc:type>Article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/11955</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep10(2023)043</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>1029-8479</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>Journal of High Energy Physics</dc:relation><dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights><dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/11955</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
