Search for vector like quarks

They have the same left- and right-handed SU(2) quantum numbers and can have Flavor-Changing Neutral Currents at tree level.

description | Vector-like quarks (VLQ) are predicted by many beyond the Standard Model theories. They have the same left- and right-handed SU(2) quantum numbers and can have Flavor-Changing Neutral Currents at tree level. If the Higgs sector is not changed the VLQs can be isospin singlets, doublets or triplets and can decay via charged (W) or neutral currents (H, Z). In this talk a search for pair-production of vector-like quarks T and B with a leptonically decaying Z boson will be presented, with data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. This search targets events that contain a pair of opposite-sign same-flavour leptons, and at least a third generation quark, which would arise from the VLQ decay. The lepton pair is selected to form a Z candidate, with the boosted regime being explored in order to target high VLQ masses. |
