Search for exotic heavy top and bottom quark partners with CMS

We present searches for massive top and bottom quark partners at CMS using data collected at sqrt(s)=8 TeV. Such partners can be found in models predicting vector-like quarks to solve the hierarchy problem and stabilize the Higgs boson mass. The searches span a range of final states, from multi-leptonic to entirely hadronic, and limits are set on mass and production cross sections as a function of branching ratios.
