Abstract
We report on a search for pair production of a fourth generation charge quark ( ) in collisions at TeV by the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron using an integrated luminosity of 93 . Both quarks are assumed to decay via flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC). The search uses the signatures jets -tag and jets. We see no significant excess of events over the expected background. We place an upper limit on the production cross section times branching fraction that is well below theoretical expectations for a decaying exclusively via FCNC for masses up to .
