A composite model for the 750 GeV diphoton excess (2015, methodology): “Estimating the production cross section of heavy resonances by that of a heavy vector-like quark of mass ∼ TeV, we obtain [14] σ ∼ 60 fb (”
Vector boson fusion at multi-TeV muon colliders (2020, background): “The phenomenology of such models is rich, well-documented [168–172], and has led to LHC searches for vector-like top and bottom quarks in a variety of final states [173–178].”
A pseudoscalar decaying to photon pairs in the early LHC Run 2 data (2015, background): “The challenge of finding large enough cγ presents itself from the fact that top partner searches have been performed and it seems difficult to evade a bound of ∼700 GeV (see for example [40,41]) and go into a region where the loop functions are enhanced.”
Constraints on new phenomena via Higgs boson couplings and invisible decays with the ATLAS detector (2015, background): “Corrections due to new heavy resonances such as vector-like quarks [54] are taken to be sub-dominant.”
What is the γγ resonance at 750 GeV? (2015, background): “The masses of the required fermions can be comfortably above present bounds, depending on their representation under the SM group [23].”
Jet substructure at the Large Hadron Collider (2018, background): “The single production modes may have higher cross sections than pair production depending on the VLQ mass and the coupling parameters [330].”
Dark Matter through the Higgs portal (2019, background): “Indeed, as they couple to gluons like SM quarks, they can be pair produced in the strong interaction process pp→ QQ̄ with rates that depend only on the mass mQ and the strong coupling constant αs (single production with a SM quark is suppressed by the tiny or null mixing angle) [133,318,319].”
Search for production of vector-like quark pairs and of four top quarks in the lepton-plus-jets final state in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV with the ATLAS detector (2015, result): “In order to be consistent with the results from the precision electroweak measurements, a small mass splitting between vector-like quarks belonging to the same SU(2) multiplet is required [12], which forbids cascade decays such as T → WB and leaves direct decays into SM particles as the only possibi”
