Some extensions of the standard model predict the existence of particles having two units of leptonic charge, known as bileptons. One of such models is based on the $SU(3)_c\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$ symmetry group (3-3-1 model, for…

A search for vectorlike quarks is presented, which targets their decay into a $Z$ boson and a third-generation Standard Model quark. In the case of a vectorlike quark $T$ ($B$) with charge $+2/3e$ ($-1/3e$), the decay searched for is $T…
