Vector-like quarks: status and new directions at the LHC
read the original abstract
Experimental searches for vector-like quarks have until now only considered their decays into Standard Model particles. However, various new physics scenarios predict additional scalars, so that these vector-like quarks can decay to new channels. These new channels reduce the branching ratios into Standard Model final states, significantly affecting current mass bounds. In this article, we quantitatively assess the relevance and observability of single and pair production processes of vector-like quarks, followed by decays into both standard and exotic final states. We highlight the importance of large widths and the relative interaction strengths with Standard Model particles and new scalars. Then, we review the post-Moriond 2024 status of these models in light of available LHC data and discuss potential future strategies to enhance the scope of vector-like quark searches.

Search for pair-production of vector-like $T$ quarks decaying into a top quark and a spin-0 particle in the diphoton final state in proton proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
No excess is observed in a first ATLAS search for pair-produced vector-like T quarks decaying via an exotic spin-0 particle to diphotons; fiducial cross-section limits and a model exclusion up to m_T≈1620 GeV are set.

Composite top partners in exotic colour representations
Colour-sextet top partners in composite Higgs models are excluded up to 2-2.5 TeV by current LHC data via top-rich decays, with HL-LHC reach near 3 TeV.

Dark matter in composite Higgs models with a scotogenic EFT
In the SU(6)/Sp(6) composite Higgs model with a scotogenic Z2, three of four neutral pseudo-Goldstone dark matter candidates can reproduce the observed relic density, while the SU(2)L triplet candidate fails; spin-1 r...

Real and Complex Singlet-Scalar Benchmarks with a Vector-Like Down Quark for $B\to X_s\gamma$ and $B_s-\bar B_s$ Mixing
In minimal benchmarks with a vector-like down quark D and singlet scalar, the new-physics contribution to B to X_s gamma is only 0.4 percent of the Standard Model value at TeV scales, while B_s mixing imposes stronger...

Higgs Yukawa coupling constraints on a benchmark one-loop radiative mass model for the bottom, charm and tau
A radiative one-loop mass model for b, c, τ, and ντ remains consistent with current Higgs and EW data, and future Yukawa-precision measurements are projected to tighten, but not close, its viable parameter space.

Non-standard decays of vector-like top partners in a $2$-Higgs doublet model at the HL-LHC
Collider analysis shows the 2τ + 2b + MET channel can probe vector-like top partners up to 1.9 TeV in 2HDM scenarios at HL-LHC.

Phenomenology of electroweak spin-1 resonances
Composite Higgs models with SU(2)_L × SU(2)_R predict spin-1 resonances mixing with electroweak bosons that remain viable at the LHC down to masses of about 1.5 TeV.
