Direct searches bounds on singlet top-partners from single and double production of VLQs and indirect bounds from the Higgs+jet final state. Blue, orange, green, and violet curves correspond to the ATLAS single VLQ bound from channel [18], ATLAS bound from top+MET final state [19], CMS final state [20], and CMS final state [21], respectively. The vertical line corresponds to the ATLAS pair production bound [65]. The SMEFT bound is taken from Ref. [64], and the red line indicates the limit from Higgs+jet differential distributions discussed in Section 2.3.1.
