Vector-Like quarks are hypothetical particles which are consistent with several BSM models, and are promising cadidates for a window into new physics.
This talk will cover the results from an ATLAS search for the single production vector-like T2/3 or Y−4/3 quarks decaying to a Wb final state using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton data collected at 13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment.
Previous searches focused exclusively on the 1-lepton channel, while the new search improves on this by combing the results with a 0-lepton channel for added sensitivity, as well as by the addition of Machine Learning based discriminants and taggers.
