New signals for singlet Higgs and vector-like quarks at the LHC

We consider an extension of the Standard Model involving a singlet Higgs and down type vector-like quarks in the light of the current LHC Higgs data. For a good range of the parameters of the Higgs potential, and a mass range for the heavy vector-like quark, we find that the singlet heavy Higgs arising from the production and decay of the vector-like quarks give rise to (2b~4t) signal. The subsequent decay of the top quarks to $b W^{+}$ give rise to a final state with six b quarks, two same-sign charged leptons and missing transverse momenta with observable cross-sections at the 14 TeV run of the Large Hadron Collider. The Standard Model background for such a final state is practically negligible.

A Separate SU(2) for the Third Family: Topflavor

We consider the extended electroweak gauge group SU(2)_1 \times SU(2)_2 \times U(1)_Y where the first and second families of fermions couple to SU(2)_1 while the third family couples to SU(2)_2. Bounds based an precision electroweak observables and heavy gauge boson searches are placed on the new parameters of the theory. The extra gauge bosons can be as light as about a TeV and can be discovered at future colliders such as the NLC and LHC for a wide range of the parameter space. FCNC interactions are also considered.

A separate SU(2) for the third family: Topflavor

We consider an extended gauge group for the electroweak interaction: SU(2)_1 \times SU(2)_2 \times U(1)_Y where the first and second generations of fermions couple to SU(2)_1 while the third generation couples to SU(2)_2. Bounds based on precision observables and heavy gauge boson searchesare placed on the new parameters of the theory, and the potential of the theory to explain R_b and R_c is explored. We investigate processes that could produce observable signals at the LHC and NLC.
