Description
The Standard Model of Particle Physics explains many natural phenomena yet remains incomplete. Vectorlike quarks (VLQs) lie at the heart of many extensions seeking to address the Hierarchy Problem, as they can naturally cancel the mass divergence for the Higgs boson. This talk summarizes recent ATLAS searches for VLQs which decay to quarks, or leptons, using Run 2 data collected at the LHC.
