Search for exotic heavy top and bottom quark partners with CMS
We present searches for massive top and bottom quark partners at CMS using
LHC pp collision data collected at centre-of-mass energy TeV.
Such partners can be found in models predicting vector-like quarks to solve the
hierarchy problem and stabilize the Higgs boson mass. The searches span a range
of final states containing several lepton and jet multiplicities, and limits
were set on mass and production cross sections as a function of branching
ratios.Comment: Submitted to the proceedings of "The European Physical Society
