Vector-like Quarks
Gustavo Castelo Branco, M. N. Rebelo

TL;DR
This paper discusses the significance of vector-like quarks (VLQs) as minimal extensions of the Standard Model, highlighting their potential to address open questions and their testability in upcoming experiments.
Contribution
It emphasizes the importance of VLQs, draws an analogy with right-handed neutrinos, and discusses their role in challenging Standard Model flavor assumptions.
Findings
VLQs can potentially solve open questions in the Standard Model.
VLQs are minimal extensions that can be experimentally probed soon.
Analogy between VLQs and right-handed neutrinos in flavor violation.
Abstract
In this talk we emphasise the importance of vector-like quarks (VLQs) and their potential to solve some of the open questions of the Standard Model. These are, in some sense minimal extensions of the Standard Model, that can be probed in the next round of experiments. We also make an analogy between vector-like quarks(VLQs) and right-handed neutrinos, emphasising that in both cases some of the flavour dogmas of the SM are violated in a controlled way.
