Mono Vector-Quark Production at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper investigates the production of vector-like quarks at the LHC, focusing on their potential as s-channel resonances and how leptonic angular distributions can distinguish different models.

Contribution

It introduces the use of leptonic angular distributions to differentiate vector-like quark models at the LHC, emphasizing their production as s-channel resonances.

Findings

Leptonic angular distributions can discriminate between vector-like quark models.

Vector-like quarks mainly mixing with top and bottom quarks are studied.

Production as s-channel resonances is analyzed.

Abstract

Vector-like quark is a common feature in many new physics models. We study the vector-like quark production as an s-channel resonance at the Large Hadron Collider for the vector-like quarks mainly mixing with the top- and bottom-quark in the Standard Model. We emphasize that the leptonic angular distribution can be used to discriminate various vector-like quark models.
