Abstract:
I will report on searches for new vector-like quarks, denoted t' and b', that are produced in pp collisions at the LHC. The talk will mostly focus on searches for a t' or b' decaying into a Z boson and a b or t quark. In addition, I will discuss additional searches in other decay modes and the statistical combination of the various decay modes. Finally, I will report on projections for Run II and beyond.
