2 Introduction Vector-like quark exists in many models of new physics beyond the Standard Model: Little Higgs model, Composite Higgs model and strong dynamic models, etc. The chiral top quarks need one pair of vector like partners to stablize the EW scale or for EW symmetry breaking. collider phenomenology of heavy quarks has been studied: pair production of heavy quarks via gluon fusions gg X 5/3 X5/3, B B analysis is conducted in same-sign dilepton final states R.Contino and G.Servant, 2008 associate production with one light quark mediated by W, Z qq jt, jb, jx 5/3, jy 4/3 Atre, Azuelos, Carena et al. 2011

3 mono production of heavy quark as an s-channel resonance. qg T, B, X 5/3, Y 4/3 I only consider the mono production of heavy top quark T. This process can be induced by FCNC anomalous g-q-t couplings.

6 Mixing with Third Generation For simplicity, we consider the scenario that the vector-quarks mix only with the third-generation quark in the SM. t L,R = cos θ u L,Rt L,R + sin θ u L,RT L,R, T L,R = sin θ u L,Rt L,R + cos θ u L,RT L,R, b L,R = cos θ d L,Rb L,R + sin θ d L,RB L,R, B L,R = sin θ d L,Rb L,R + cos θ d L,RB L,R, Defining x t = λ u v/ 2 and x b = λ d v/ 2, those mixing angles depend on x t, x b and gauge invariant mass M.

9 Electroweak Constraints Quark mixing would inevitably modify the W -t-b and Z-b-b couplings in the SM, which in turn severely constrain the model parameters. Mass splitting among the fermions will contribute to T parameter through the vacuum polarization of the gauge bosons: T = 4π (Π s 2 c 2 MZ 2 11 (0) Π 33 (0)) Charged and neutral currents are modified according to weak isospin of vector-quarks. (Note heavy top s isospin is not always 1/2) T W+ W W T W 3 3 b t SM contribution is substructed and divergence is cancelled.

10 Electroweak precision measurements: T = 0.05 ± 0.11, mainly put constraints on singlet and doublet models. M.Peskin and T.Takeuchi, 1990 L. Lavoura and J. Silva, 1993 Mixing between the vector bottom quarks and the chiral bottom quarks induces δgl NP and δgr NP, related to the deviation of R b: ( gl δr b = 2R b (1 R b ) gl 2 + δg g2 L NP + g ) R R gl 2 + δg NP g2 R R Electroweak precision measurements: δr b = ± , mainly put constraints on triplet vector-quark models.

12 Chromo-magnetic-dipole Couplings In the approach of Effective Field Theory, all the possible dimension-6 effective operators describing the strong magnetic g-q-q interaction are: L gqq = κ u,r Λ 2 + κ u,l Λ 2 + κ X,L Λ 2 + κ X,R Λ 2 q L σ µν λ A S u,r φg A µν + κ d,r Λ 2 q L σ µν λ A S d,r φg A µν D 2L σ µν λ A u R φg A µν + κ d,l Λ 2 D 2L σ µν λ A d R φg A µν D XL σ µν λ A u R φg A µν + κ Y,L Λ 2 D Y L σ µν λ A d R φg A µν T XR σ µν λ A ( φτ I q L ) G A µν + κ Y,R Λ 2 T Y R σ µν λ A ( φτ I q L )G A µν The cross section of mono production of heavy quark depends on the effective g-q-t couplings. Possible decaying channels: T tg, T bw +, T tz and T th. In the collider simulation sections we are going to analyze the first two.

Veto cuts are demanded: p T (j, l ± ) < 10 GeV or η(j, l ± ) > 3.5. Either falling into a large rapidity region or carrying a too small transverse momentum to be detected

25 Conclusion Electroweak precision measurements impose strong bounds on the model parameters of vector-quark models. The leptonic angular distribution is a favored analyzing power for identifying the chiral property of couplings, therefore distinguish varieties of vector-quark models. It is promising to explore the existence of vector-quarks in mono production channel, depending on specific assumptions. model independent approach pair production
