- A search is presented for the pair production of heavy vector-like \(T\) quarks, primarily targeting the \(T\) quark decays to a \(W\) boson and a \(b\)-quark. The search is based on 36.1 fb\(^{−1}\) of \(pp\) collisions at \(\sqrt{s}=13\) TeV recorded in 2015 and 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Data are analysed in the lepton-plus-jets final state, including at least one \(b\)-tagged jet and a large-radius jet identified as originating from the hadronic decay of a high-momentum \(W\) boson.

The search is based on 36.1 fb\(^{−1}\) of \(pp\) collisions at \(\sqrt{s}=13\) TeV recorded in 2015 and 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Data are analysed in the lepton-plus-jets final state, including at least one \(b\)-tagged jet and a large-radius jet identified as originating from the hadronic decay of a high-momentum \(W\) boson. No significant deviation from the Standard Model expectation is observed in the reconstructed \(T\) mass distribution. The observed 95% confidence level lower limit on the \(T\) mass are 1350 GeV assuming 100% branching ratio to \(Wb\). In the SU(2) singlet scenario, the lower mass limit is 1170 GeV. This search is also sensitive to a heavy vector-like \(B\) quark decaying to \(Wt\) and other final states. The results are thus reinterpreted to provide a 95% confidence level lower limit on the \(B\) quark mass at 1250 GeV assuming 100% branching ratio to \(Wt\); in the SU(2) singlet scenario, the limit is 1080 GeV. Mass limits on both \(T\) and \(B\) production are also set as a function of the decay branching ratios. The 100% branching ratio limits are found to be applicable to heavy vector-like \(Y\) and \(X\) production that decay to \(Wb\) and \(Wt\), respectively.…
