Search for vectorlike light-flavor quark partners in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV

A search is presented for heavy vectorlike quarks (VLQs) that couple only to light quarks in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8  TeV at the LHC. The data were collected by the CMS experiment during 2012 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7  fb[superscript −1]. Both single and pair prod...
