Abstract

We consider the production and detection of a sequential, down type quark via the mode ppbbˉW+Wttˉν8jp p \to b' {\bar b}' \to W^+ W^- t {\bar t} \to \ell \nu_{\ell} 8 j at the LHC, with the collision energy s=10\sqrt{s}=10 TeV and the total integrated luminosity around 1 fb1^{-1}. We assume mb=mt=600m_{b'}=m_{t'}=600 GeV. A full reconstruction is employed and the signal and background discrimination is studied within a neural network approach. Our results show that this mode can make a useful contribution to the bb' search.
