Portals to New Physics: The W-Quark Portal
Abstract
We explore new EFT operators where single new exotic states interact with the Standard Model through an asymmetric Standard Model portal with couplings to at least one quark and one W boson. Effective operators up to dimension 6 are considered, and we specify SM charges of all new states accessible through this portal. We explore our interactions by detailing possible collider production processes at e-p and p-p colliders. Finally, we study the LHC production of a new weak-quadruplet SU(3) fundamental fermion which can be singly produced in association with a SM quark through W-quark portal processes.
