Abstract
A search for the b′ quark via flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) decay modes is described. The search was carried out by looking for isolated high energy photon(s) or back to back jet pairs within 4-jet topologies using the data taken by the TOPAZ detector at TRISTAN in the energy range s=50.0−60.8 GeV. As the FCNC decay branching ratio of the b′ is unknown, the experimental limits are given as a function of mass and branching ratio. Assuming the branching ration of the FCNC mode is 100%, a mass limit for b′ is set ⩾28.3 GeV/c2 independent of Br(b′→bγ).
