Abstract
A study of bound states of the fourth-generation quarks in the range of 500–700 GeV is presented, where the binding energies are expected to be mainly of Yukawa origin, with QCD subdominant. Near degeneracy of their masses exhibits a new ‘isospin’. The production of a colour-octet, isosinglet vector meson via \(q\bar q \to \omega_8\) is the most interesting. Its leading decay modes are \(\pi_8^\pm W^\mp\), \(\pi_8^0Z^0\), and constituent quark decay, with \(q\bar q\) and \(t\bar t'\) and \(b\bar b'\) subdominant. The colour octet, isovector pseudoscalar π 8 meson decays via constituent quark decay, or to Wg. This work calls for more detailed study of fourth-generation phenomena at LHC.
