Abstract

High energy hadron colliders provide a powerful platform to explore physics beyond the Standard Model through the search for new heavy quarks. Due to their large center-of-mass energies (multi-TeV range) and high luminosities, these colliders significantly extend the mass reach for vector-like heavy quark states predicted in many theoretical frameworks, including composite Higgs models, extra-dimensional theories, and other extensions of the Standard Model. This work examines the production mechanisms, dominant decay channels, and characteristic experimental signatures of new heavy quarks at future high energy hadron colliders. It also evaluates the expected significances, taking into account background processes at the hadron level analysis performance. The results demonstrate that high energy hadron colliders can substantially improve current limits, enabling either the discovery of heavy quarks at TeV scales or the exclusion of a wide region of parameter space (mass and couplings) of new heavy quark physics.
