Description
Vector like quarks appear in many theories beyond the Standard Model as a
way to cancel the mass divergence for the Higgs boson. The current status
of the ATLAS searches for the production of vector like quarks will be
reviewed for proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV. This presentation will
address the analysis techniques, in particular the selection criteria, the
background modeling and the related experimental uncertainties. The
phenomenological implications of the obtained results will also be
discussed.
