46 Conclusions and Outlook After Higgs discovery, Vector-like quarks are a very promising playground for searches of new physics Fairly rich phenomenology at the LHC and many possibile channels to explore Signatures of single and pair production of VL quarks are accessible at current CM energy and luminosity and have been explored to some extent Current bounds on masses around 6-8 GeV, but searches are not fully optimized for general scenarios. Model-independent studies can be performed for pair and single production, and also to analyse scenarios with multiple vector-like quarks (work in progress, results very soon!)
