Description
Presented is a study of searches for two exotic particles - a heavy top quark partner with a fractional charge of 5/3, T(5/3), and its partner, the heavy B quark with charge -1/3. These particles decay to a top quark and a W boson, leading to very busy events with multi-leptons and multi-jets. Processes where same-sign dileptons are produced are considered. The backgrounds are predominantly from top pair production, QCD multi-jets, Z+jets, tt WW, tt W and multiple-W+jets production. The study shows that it is possible to observe these exotic particles during the early running period of the Large Hadron Collider.
