Reconstruction of Vector-like Top Partner from Fully Hadronic Final States

Abstract

We investigate the potential to search for the vector-like top partner in fully hadronic final states at the LHC. An algorithm is developed that kinematically reconstructs the vector-like top. We show that for moderate masses and a large branching fraction into the top quark and Higgs boson, the reconstruction works with good quality.
