Description
New quarks appear in many beyond the Standard Model trying to cancel the
mass divergence for the Higgs boson. The current status of the ATLAS
searches for single production of such news quarks will be reviewed,
addressing the used analysis techniques, in particular the selection
criteria, the background modelling and the related experimental
uncertainties. The phenomenological implications of the obtained results
will also be discussed.
