Abstract
Quark partners with non-chiral couplings appear in several extensions of the Standard Model.
They may have non-trivial generational structure to their couplings, and may be produced
either in pairs via the strong and EM interactions, or singly via the new couplings of the model.
Their decays often produce heavy quarks and gauge bosons, which will contribute to a variety
of already-measured ``Standard Model'' cross-sections at the LHC.
We present a study of the sensitivity of such published LHC measurements to vector-like quarks, first comparing
to limits already obtained from dedicated searches, and then broadening to some so-far unstudied parameter regions.
