| contents | The Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar (FSRQ) B2\,1308+326 was in its highest $γ$-ray flaring state during 60260-60310\,MJD. During this period, the source was detected in very high energy (VHE) by the large-sized telescope (LST-1). We conducted a detailed broadband spectral study of this source using the simultaneous data available in optical/UV, X-ray, and $γ$-ray bands. For the broadband spectral study, we select two gamma-ray high flux states (59750-59800\,MJD, 60260-60310\,MJD) and one low flux state (59250-59320\,MJD). During the epochs, 59750-59800\,MJD (high flux state) and 59250-59320\,MJD (low flux state), the broadband spectral energy distribution (SED) is well fitted using one zone leptonic emission model involving synchrotron, synchrotron self Compton (SSC) and external Compton (EC) processes. However, the flaring state (60260-60310\,MJD) during which the source showed VHE emission requires an additional component. We show that the inclusion of the photo-meson process can successfully explain this excess $γ$-ray emission. Further the estimated parameters, also suggest the source is transparent to VHE gamma-rays against pair production process. |
