Search for Excited $u$ and $d$ Quarks in Dijet Final States at Future $pp$ Colliders

Abstract

Resonant production of excited $u$ and $d$ quarks at the Future Circular Collider and Super proton-proton Collider have been researched. Dominant jet-jet decay mode has been considered. It is shown that FCC and SppC have great potential for discovery of excited $u$ ($d$) quark: up to 44.1 (36.3) and 58.4 (47.8) TeV masses, respectively. For degenerate case (M${}_{u^{\star }}$ = M${}_{d^{\star }}$), these values are 45.9 and 60.9 TeV, respectively. This discovery will also afford an opportunity to determine the compositeness scale up to multi-PeV level.
