Abstract
In a framework of the Standard Model (SM) simply extended by an SU(2) doublet including a vectorlike X-quark (VLQ-X), with electric charge , we investigate the single production of the VLQ-X induced by the couplings between the VLQ-X with the first and the third generation quarks at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operating at TeV. The signal is searched in events including same-sign dileptons (electrons or muons), one b-tagged jet and missing energy, where the X quark is assumed to decay into a top quark and a W boson, both decaying leptonically. After a rapid simulation of signal and background events, the 95% CL exclusion limits and the 5σ discovery reach are respectively obtained at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of 300 and 3000 fb−1, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Physics B focuses on the domain of high energy physics, quantum field theory, statistical systems, and mathematical physics, and includes four main sections: high energy physics - phenomenology, high energy physics - theory, high energy physics - experiment, and quantum field theory, statistical systems, and mathematical physics. The emphasis is on original research papers (Frontiers Articles or Full Length Articles), but Review Articles are also welcome.
