Description

This presentation will adress the experimental issues and discovery potentials for a fourth generation charge -1/3 quark decaying to a W and a top quark and for a right-handed W that decays to a lepton and a heavy neutrino, predicted by Left-Right-symmetric models. Both produce almost background-free final states containing multiple leptons and jets. The residual backgrounds and reach for each type of particle is presented for 100 pb-1 of 14 TeV data.
