Phenomenological aspects of the exotic T quark in 331 models

Abstract: In the context of 331 models we analyze the phenomenology of exotic T quarks with electric charge 2/3. We establish bounds for the corresponding masses and mixing angles and study the decay modes T → bW , tZ and qH. It is found that the decays into scalars are strongly dependent on the model parameters, and can be the dominant ones in a scenario with approximate flavor symmetry.

“…In addition, under the assumption that the exotic T , J 1 and J 2 quarks are lighter than the H 0 2 and H 0 2 neutral Higgs bosons, our model predicts the absence of the flavor changing neutral exotic quark decays, which implies that they can be searched at the LHC via their decay into the SM quarks and the intermediate states of heavy gauge bosons, which in turn decay into the pairs of the SM fermions; see e.g. [228]. Possible directions for future work along these lines would be to study the constraints on the heavy charged gauge boson masses in our model arising from the upper bound on the branching fraction for the flavor changing top quark decays, the oblique parameters, the Zbb vertex and the Higgs diphoton signal strength.…”

“…After being pair produced they will decay into the SM quarks and the intermediate states of heavy gauge bosons, which in turn decay into the pairs of the SM fermions; see e.g. [228]. The precise signature of the decays of the exotic quarks depends on details of the spectrum and other parameters of the model.…”

The precise signature of the decays of the vector-like fermions depends on details of the spectrum and other parameters of the model.…”
