Distinguishing Signatures of top-and bottom-type heavy vectorlike quarks   at the LHC
  An SU(2) vectorlike singlet quark with a charge either +2/3 (t') or -1/3 (b') is predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model. The mixing of these quarks with the top or bottom lead to Flavor Changing Yukawa Interactions and Neutral Current. The decay modes of the heavier mass eigenstates are therefore different from the Standard Model type chiral quarks. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will provide an ideal environment to look for the signals of these exotic quarks. Considering all decays, including those involving Z- and Yukawa interactions, we show how one can distinguish between t' and b' from ratios of event rates with different lepton multiplicities. The ability to reconstruct the Higgs boson with a mass around 125.5 GeV plays an important role in such differentiation.
