Anomalous Single Production of the Fourth Generation Quarks at the LHC

Abstract

Possible anomalous single productions of the fourth standard model generation up and down type quarks at CERN Large Hadron Collider are studied. Namely, $pp\to u_4(d_4)X$ with subsequent $u_4\to b{W}^{+}$ process followed by leptonic decay of $W$ boson and $d_4\to b\gamma$ (and its h.c.) decay channel are considered. Signatures of these processes and corresponding standard model backgrounds are discussed in detail. Discovery limits for quark mass and achievable values of anomalous coupling strength are determined.
