Abstract
In the context of 331 models we analyze the phenomenology of exotic T quarks with electric charge 2/3. We establish bounds for the corresponding masses and mixing angles and study the decay modes T→bW, tZ and qH. It is found that the decays into scalars are strongly dependent on the model parameters and can be the dominant ones in a scenario with approximate flavor symmetry.
