The E6 inspired isosinglet quark and the Higgs boson

摘要

We consider the experimental implications of the down type isosinglet quark, D, predicted by the E6,group to Higgs boson searches at the LHC. The pair production of D quarks at the LHC and theirsubsequent decays D →hd and D →Wu has been analyzed. For a light Higgs boson of mass O(120 GeV),an analysis based on fast simulation of the ATLAS detector response shows that the bˉb channel becomes as efficient as the γγ channel for discovering the Higgs particle if mD < 630 GeV.
