Signals with six bottom quarks for charged and neutral Higgs bosons

Abstract: In extensions of two Higgs doublet models with vectorlike quarks, the decays of vectorlike quarks may easily be dominated by cascade decays through charged or neutral Higgs bosons leading to signatures with 6 top or bottom quarks. Since top quark decays also contain bottom quarks, a common signature for many possible decay chains is 6 bottom quarks in the final state. We present a search strategy focusing on this final state and find the mass ranges of vectorlike quarks and Higgs bosons that can be explored at… Show more

“…While we have focused on the interpretation of the analysis in a 2HDM vector-like quarks, the results can also be interpreted more broadly in models involving more exotic bosons, such as a Z & W , or scenarios of composite Higgs bosons [10]. Other related studies with vector-like quarks and leptons were presented in [11,12,13,14] The MSSM extended with a vector-like family provides one such example of TeV scale new physics involving new fermions and an extended Higgs sector. For mass scales of new particles O(10) TeV in this model, the seven largest couplings of the Standard Model can be understood for their IR fixed points originating from completely random values at the GUT scale.…”

“…In ref. [2] we investigated final states with combinations of 6 top and bottom quarks in an extension of the type-II 2HDM. In that case, since the top quark also decays into a bottom quark, a common signature for many possible decay chains is 6 bottom quarks.…”

“…In Ref. [4], the authors have studied the VLL decays mostly to muons and derived some generally applicable limits on various VLL pair production and decay processes. They pointed out that BR(τ → Z μ) must be less than 92%, 76% and 75% for the singlet VLL m τ = 125, 150, 200 GeV, respectively.…”
