A Search for the Fourth SM Family Quarks through Anomalous Decays

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

The existence of fourth family follows from the basics of the Standard Model. Because of the high masses of the fourth family quarks, their anomalous decays could be dominant, if certain criteria are met. This will drastically change the search strategy at hadron colliders. We show that the fourth SM family down quarks with masses up to 400-450 GeV can be observed (or excluded) via anomalous decays by Tevatron before the LHC.
