LHC Signatures of Vector-Like Quarks

Figure 5

Feynman diagrams for pair production of a generic VLQ. Above the dominant and model-independent QCD contributions, below the subdominant and model-dependent EW contributions. Arrows on fermion lines have been removed to account for both particles and antiparticles, when necessary. Notice the possibility to have FCNCs between SM quarks in the and s-channel diagram, which is peculiar to VL scenarios.
