Abstract
We compute the two-loop anomalous dimension matrix in the scalar sector of planar \( \mathcal{N}=3 \) flavored ABJM theory. Using coordinate Bethe ansatz, we obtain the reflection matrices and confirm that the boundary Yang-Baxter equations are satisfied. This establishes the integrability of this theory in the scalar sector at the two-loop order.
