Abstract
Vectorlike quarks have been shown to resolve certain long-standing discrepancies pertaining to the bottom sector. We investigate, here, the prospects of identifying the existence of a topless vectorlike doublet , as is preferred by the electroweak precision measurements. Concentrating on single production, with subsequently, we find that the fully hadronic decay-channel is susceptible to discovery provided jet substructure observables are used. At the 13 TeV LHC with an integrated luminosity of 300 fb, a modest value of the chromomagnetic transition moments allows for the exclusion of TeV in the and channels respectively.
