Handbook of vectorlike quarks: mixing and single production Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio Benbrik, R. Heinemeyer, S. Pérez-Victoria, Manuel Vector-like quarks High Energy Physics Phenomenology We obtain constraints on the mixing of vector-like quarks coupling predominantly to the third generation. We consider all (seven) relevant types of vector-like quarks, individually. The constraints are derived from oblique corrections and Z -> b bbar measurements at LEP and SLC. We investigate the implications of these constraints on LHC phenomenology, concerning the decays of the heavy quarks and their single production. We also explore indirect effects of heavy quark mixing in top and bottom couplings. A remarkable effect is the possibility of explaining the anomalous forward-backward asymmetry in Z -> b bbar at LEP, with a hypercharge -5/6 doublet. We also study the impact of the new quarks on single Higgs production at the LHC and Higgs decay. 2014-02-17T11:01:46Z 2014-02-17T11:01:46Z 2013 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Aguilar-Saavedra, J.A.; et al.
