Heavy Quarks Above the Top at the Tevatron

Atre, Anupama, Carena, Marcela, Han, Tao et al.

Understand

Recent developments in models with warped extra dimensions have opened new possibilities for vector-like quark studies at hadron colliders.

These new vector-like quarks can mix sizably with light Standard Model quarks without violating low energy constraints.
We perform a model-independent analysis to determine the Tevatron reach in the search for new quarks.
We find that the Tevatron has great potential to observe such quarks via their electroweak single production due to their mixing with valence quarks.
