abstract = {A search is presented for heavy vectorlike quarks (VLQs)
that couple only to light quarks in proton-proton collisions
at $\sqrt s$ =8 TeV at the LHC. The data were collected by
the CMS experiment during 2012 and correspond to an
integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb$^{−1}$. Both single and
pair production of VLQs are considered. The
single-production search is performed for down-type VLQs
(electric charge of magnitude 1/3), while the
pair-production search is sensitive to up-type (charge of
magnitude 2/3) and down-type VLQs. Final states with at
least one muon or one electron are considered. No
significant excess over standard model expectations is
observed, and lower limits on the mass of VLQs are derived.
The lower limits range from 400 to 1800 GeV, depending on
the single-production cross section and the VLQ branching
fractions $\mathfrak{B}$ to W, Z, and Higgs bosons. When
considering pair production alone, VLQs with masses below
845 GeV are excluded for $\mathfrak{B}$(W)=1.0, and below
685 GeV for $\mathfrak{B}$(W)=0.5,
B(Z)=$\mathfrak{B}$(H)=0.25. The results are more stringent
than those previously obtained for single and pair
production of VLQs coupled to light quarks.},
