The Lagrangian has the standard vector-LQ kinetic term plus $\mathcal{L} \supset (g_U/\sqrt{2})\,U_1^\mu (\beta_L^{ij}\, \bar Q_L^i \gamma_\mu L_L^j) + \mathrm{h.c.}$, with only $\beta_L^{32}$ (b-quark to muon) non-zero. The diagnostic observable is the normalized $|\eta|$ distribution of the $b$ quark binned in 13 bins from 0 to 2.5 (narrow [0, 0.1] first bin then uniform 0.2-wide bins), shown in two side-by-side panels at $\beta_L^{32} = 1.0$ and $\beta_L^{32} = 0.1$, each overlaying SM (gray bar histogram) with $m_\mathrm{LQ}=1$ TeV (blue dashed) and $m_\mathrm{LQ}=10$ TeV (orange dashed). A credible study (a) implements the $U_1$ vector-LQ Lagrangian with $\kappa_U=\tilde\kappa_U=0$ (FeynRules + UFO), (b) runs 5 parton-level MadGraph runs (1 SM baseline at 500k events with $\beta_L^{32}=0$ and $m_\mathrm{LQ}=10^5$ GeV; 4 LQ signal runs at $\beta_L^{32}\in \{1.0, 0.1\}$ x $m_\mathrm{LQ}\in\{1, 10\}$ TeV with 50k events each), (c) extracts the $b$-quark $|\eta|$ from each event, (d) histograms into the 13 bins and normalizes to total events per run, (e) plots two panels side by side with the prescribed style.
