Long-Lived Heavy Quarks: A Review

Table 2

Electroweak single production cross-sections (in pb) as a function of the mass 𝑚_𝑄 of the heavy quark, assuming order unity couplings as computed in [12]. In contrast, strong pair production 𝑝𝑝→𝑄𝑄 yields 3.61 (0.63) fb for 𝑚_𝑄=900 and 1800 GeV/𝑐² at √𝑠=7 and 14 TeV.
