Non-standard signatures of vector-like quarks in a leptophobic 221 model

Abstract

We consider vector-like quarks in a leptophobic 221 model characterized by the gauge group $SU(2{)}_L\times SU(2{)}_2\times U(1{)}_X$, where the $SU(2{)}_2$ is leptophobic in nature. We discuss about the pattern of mixing between Standard Model quarks and vector-like quarks and how we prevent tree level flavour-changing interactions in the model. The model also predicts tauphilic scalars decaying mostly to tau leptons. We consider a typical signal of the model in the form of pair production of top-type vector-like quarks which decays to the tauphilic scalars and a third generation quark. We analyze the resulting final state signal for the 13 TeV LHC, containing $\ge 3j(1b)+\ge 2\tau +\ge 1l$ and discuss the discovery prospects of such vector-like quarks with non-standard decay modes.
