Abstract
We report the most restrictive direct limits on masses of fourth- generation down- type quarks b', and quarklike composite fermions (B or T-5/ 3), decaying promptly to tW -/+. We search for a significant excess of events with two same- charge leptons (e, mu), several hadronic jets, and missing transverse energy. An analysis of data from p (p) over bar collisions with an integrated luminosity of 2.7 fb(-1) collected with the CDF II detector at Fermilab yields no evidence for such a signal, setting mass limits m(b'), m(B) > 338 GeV/c(2) and m(T-5/3) > 365 GeV/c(2) at 95% confidence level.File in questo prodotto:
