Abstract

We report on a search for new heavy quarks decaying semileptonically into muons, using 4.7 pb-1 of data taken during the CERN {Mathematical expression} collider runs in 1988 and 1989. The properties of isolated muons accompanied by jets are consistent with the predictions from the Standard Model but do not show a signal for a new heavy quark. Combining all the UA1 data (5.4 pb-1), lower mass limits are obtained at 60 GeV/c2 (95% CL) for the t-quark and 43 GeV/c2 (95% CL) for a fourth-generation charge-1/3 quark (b′-quark).
