Search for pair production of excited top quarks in the lepton + jets final state

A search is performed for pair-produced spin-3/2 excited top quarks (t[superscript ∗][¯ over t][superscript ∗]), each decaying to a top quark and a gluon. The search uses data collected with the CMS detector from pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 8 TeV, selecting events that have a si...
