A search is presented for heavy vectorlike quarks (VLQs) that couple only to light quarks in protonproton collisions at ffiffi s p ¼ 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...
