The search is based on 20.3 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data taken at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector. Events with one or two leptons, and one, two or three jets are selected with the additional requirement that at least one jet contains a b-quark. Single-lepton events are also required to contain at least one large-radius jet from the hadronic decay of a high-PT W boson or a top quark. No significant excess over the expected background is observed and upper limits on the cross-section times branching ratio for different vector-like quark and excited-quark model masses are derived. For the excited-quark production and decay to Wt with unit couplings, quarks with masses below 1500 GeV are excluded and coupling-dependent limits are set.", optnote="WOS:000375282900001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2675), last updated on Thu, 28 Jul 2016 12:14:25 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP02(2016)110", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.02664", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP02(2016)110", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1510.02664", language="English" }
