Description
We present recent results from the CMS experiment of searches for massive vector-like top and bottom quark partners using data collected in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s)=8 TeV. These partners can be found in models addressing the hierarchy problem to stabilize the mass of the Higgs boson. The searches span a range of final states, from multi-lepton to entirely hadronic. All observations are consistent with the standard model, and limits are set on the production cross sections of the vector-like quarks.
