Searches for fourth generation vector-like quarks with the ATLAS detector

Various extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of new quarks heavier than the top quark. We report on searches for pair production of top- and bottom-like vector-like quarks decaying to channels like a Higgs boson and a top quark or to a gauge boson and a bottom or top quark. These s...

Sumario:Various extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of new quarks heavier than the top quark. We report on searches for pair production of top- and bottom-like vector-like quarks decaying to channels like a Higgs boson and a top quark or to a gauge boson and a bottom or top quark. These searches use the data sample recorded in 2012 at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 8 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.
