Search for heavy bottomlike quarks decaying to an electron or muon and jets in pp̅ collisions at √s=1.96  TeV

We report the most sensitive direct search for pair production of fourth-generation bottomlike chiral quarks (b′) each decaying promptly to tW. We search for an excess of events with an electron or muon, at least five jets (one identified as due to a b or c quark), and an imbalance of transverse mom...

description We report the most sensitive direct search for pair production of fourth-generation bottomlike chiral quarks (b′) each decaying promptly to tW. We search for an excess of events with an electron or muon, at least five jets (one identified as due to a b or c quark), and an imbalance of transverse momentum by using data from p¯p collisions collected by the CDF II detector at Fermilab with an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb−1.
