Heavy Vector-like Top Partners at the LHC and flavour constraints

Abstract

We consider the phenomenology at the Large Hadron Collider of new heavy vector-like quarks which couple mainly to the third generation quarks via Yukawa interactions, with special emphasis on non-standard doublet representations which are less constrained from present data. We also discuss in detail the flavour limits at tree level and loop level and implications of a generalised CKM mixing matrix to these cases.

45 pages, 20 figures, 8 tables. Updated limits in the B-physics part, typos corrected, minor modifications in the LHC part
