Description
Various extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence
of new types of quarks. We report on several search channels such as
vector-like quarks decaying to a Higgs boson and a top quark or to
a W boson and a b quark. The talk presents results from
searches for new resonances decaying to a top-antitop pair, including
the use of boosted top quark reconstruction techniques.
These searches use data recorded in either 2011 or 2012 at
sqrt(s)=7 TeV or 8 TeV, respectively, by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.
