Description
A search is presented for the production of vector-like quark pairs, T T
‾ or Y Y ‾, with electric charge of 2/3 (T) or - 4 / 3 (Y),
in proton-proton collisions at √{ s } = 13TeV. The data were
collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and correspond to an
integrated luminosity of 35.8fb-1. The T and Y quarks are
assumed to decay exclusively to a W boson and a b quark. The search is
based on events with a single isolated electron or muon, large missing
transverse momentum, and at least four jets with large transverse
momenta. In the search, a kinematic reconstruction of the final state
observables is performed, which would permit a signal to be detected as
a narrow mass peak (≈7% resolution). The observed number of events is
consistent with the standard model prediction. Assuming strong pair
production of the vector-like quarks and a 100% branching fraction to
bW, a lower limit of 1295 GeV at 95% confidence level is set on the T
and Y quark masses.
