A search has been performed for pair production of heavy vectorlike down-type () quarks. The analysis explores the lepton-plus-jets final state, characterized by events with one isolated charged lepton (electron or muon), significant missing transverse momentum, and multiple jets. One or more jets are required to be tagged as arising fromquarks, and at least one pair of jets must be tagged as arising from the hadronic decay of an electroweak boson. The analysis uses the full data sample ofcollisions recorded in 2012 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC, operating at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of. No significant excess of events is observed above the expected background. Limits are set on vectorlikeproduction, as a function of thebranching ratios, assuming the allowable decay modes are. In the chiral limit with a branching ratio of 100% for the decay, the observed (expected) 95% C.L. lower limit on the vectorlikemass is 810 GeV (760 GeV). In the case where the vectorlikequark has branching ratio values corresponding to those of ansinglet state, the observed (expected) 95% C.L. lower limit on the vectorlikemass is 640 GeV (505 GeV). The same analysis, when used to investigate pair production of a colored, chargeexotic fermion, with subsequent decay, sets an observed (expected) 95% C.L. lower limit on themass of 840 GeV (780 GeV).
