description | We present a search for pair-produced top-like quarks, T, in pp
collisions at a center-of-mass energy
of $7\TeV$ performed by the CMS experiment at the LHC.
Events consistent with the flavor changing neutral current decay of a T quark to a top quark
and a Z boson are selected requiring
two leptons from the Z~decay as well as an additional isolated, charged lepton.
With an integrated luminosity of 191 pb$^{-1}$, no signal excess beyond
the standard model
background prediction is observed.
Assuming a branching fraction of 100\% for the decay $\rm T \to tZ$, a T quark with mass less than
417 GeV/$c^2$ is excluded at a 95\% confidence level. |
