Search for pair production of up-type vector-like quarks and for four-top-quark events in final states with multiple b-jets with the ATLAS detector

doi:10.1007/JHEP07(2018)089

Abstract:

A search for pair production of up-type vector-like quarks (T) with a significant branching ratio into a top quark and either a Standard Model Higgs boson or a Z boson is presented. The same analys ...

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential for observing gravitational waves from cosmological phase transitions with LISA was investigated, based on current state-of-the-art simulations of sound waves in the cosmic fluid after the phase transition completes.

TL;DR: Combined 95% confidence-level upper limits are set on the production cross section for a range of vectorlike quark scenarios, significantly improving upon the reach of the individual searches.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a mechanism that allows for sizeable flavour violation in quark-lepton currents, while suppressing flavour changing neutral currents, and applied it to the recently proposed 4321 renormalizable model to accommodate the current experimental anomalies in B-meson decays.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Standard Model (SM) with the addition of a ε-symmetric gauge symmetry and a complete fourth family of quarks and leptons was considered.

TL;DR: The 2HDM+a model proposed in this article provides the simplest theoretically consistent extension of the DM pseudoscalar simplified model and has been shown to have a rich and intricate pattern of mono-X signatures and the relevance of other DM as well as non-DM experiments.

TL;DR: In this article, a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented, which has a significance of 5.9 standard deviations, corresponding to a background fluctuation probability of 1.7×10−9.
