| Abstract | The vectorlike top partners $T$ are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model (SM). In a simplified model including a single vectorlike $T$ quark with charge $2/3$, we investigate the process $pp \to Tj$ induced by the couplings between the top partner with the first and the third generation quarks at the LHC. We find that the mixing with the first generation can enhance the production cross section. We further study the observability of the single heavy top partner through the process $pp \to T(\to th)j\to t(\to b \ell \nu_{\ell})h( \to \gamma\gamma) j$ at the high-luminosity (HL)-LHC (a 14 TeV $pp$ collider with an integrated luminosity of 3 ab$^{-1}$). For three typical heavy $T$ quark masses $m_T=600,800$ and 1000 GeV, the $3\sigma$ exclusion limits, as well as the $5\sigma$ discovery reach in the parameter plane of the two variables $g^{\ast}-R_L$, are respectively obtained at the HL-LHC. |
