We evaluate the LHC discovery potential for the fourth family Standard Model neutrinos in the process $ppto Z/hto u_{4}{bar{ u}_{4}}to Wmu Wmu$. We show that, depending on their masses, the simultaneous discovery of both the Higgs boson and the heavy neutrinos is probable at early stages of LHC operation. Results are presented for both Majorana and Dirac type fourth family neutrinos.

It is shown that if the fourth SM fermion family exists then the Higgs boson could be observed at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of few fb-1. The Higgs discovery potential for different channels is discussed in the presence of the fourth SM family.
We show that the standard model (SM)-like Higgs boson may decay into neutrinos with a sizable decay branching ratio in one well-known two Higgs doublet model, so-called neutrinophilic Higgs model. This could happen if the mass of the lighter extra neutral Higgs boson is smaller than one half of the SM-like Higgs boson mass. The definite prediction of this scenario is that the rate of the SM-like Higgs boson decay into diphoton normalized by the SM value is about 0.9. In the case that a neutrino is Majorana particle, a displaced vertex of right-handed neutrino decay would be additionally observed. This example indicates that a large invisible Higgs boson decay could be irrelevant to dark matter.
We study the single production of the fourth family quarks through the process pp--> QjX at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We have calculated the decay widths and branching ratios of the fourth family quarks (b and t) in the mass range 300-800 GeV. The cross sections of signal and background processes have been calculated in a Monte Carlo framework. It is shown that the LHC can discover single t and b quarks if the CKM matrix elements |V_{tq}|,|V_{qb}|>=0.01.
The Approach unifying spin and charges, assuming that all the internal degrees of freedom---the spin, all the charges and the families---originate in $d > (1+3)$ in only two kinds of spins (the Dirac one and the only one existing beside the Dirac one and anticommuting with the Dirac one), is offering a new way in understanding the appearance of the families and the charges (in the case of charges the similarity with the Kaluza-Klein-like theories must be emphasized). A simple starting action in $d >(1+3)$ for gauge fields (the vielbeins and the two kinds of the spin connections) and a spinor (which carries only two kinds of spins and interacts with the corresponding gauge fields) manifests after particular breaks of the starting symmetry the massless four (rather than three) families with the properties as assumed by the Standard model for the three known families, and the additional four massive families. The lowest of these additional four families is stable. A part of the starting action contributes, together with the vielbeins, in the break of the electroweak symmetry manifesting in $d=(1+3)$ the Yukawa couplings (determining the mixing matrices and the masses of the lower four families of fermions and influencing the properties of the higher four families) and the scalar field, which determines the masses of the gauge fields. The fourth family might be seen at the LHC, while the stable fifth family might be what is observed as the dark matter.
Family gauge boson production at the LHC is investigated according to a $U(3)$ family gauge model with twisted family number assignment. In the model we study, a family gauge boson with the lowest mass, $A_1^{ 1}$, interacts only with the first generation leptons and the third generation quarks. (The family numbers are assigned, for example, as $(e_1, e_2, e_3)= (e^-, mu^-, tau^-)$ and $(d_1, d_2, d_3)=(b, d, s) $[or $(d_1, d_2, d_3)=(b, s, d)$]). In the model, the family gauge coupling constant is fixed by relating to the electroweak gauge coupling constant. Thus measurements of production cross sections and branching ratios of $A_1^{ 1}$ clearly confirm or rule out the model. We calculate the cross sections of inclusive $A_1^{ 1}$ production and $b bar{b} , (t bar{t})$ associated $A_1^{ 1}$ production at $sqrt{s} = 14~text{TeV}$ and $100~text{TeV}$. With the dielectron production cross section, we discuss the determination of diagonalizing matrix of quark mass matrix, $U_{u}$ and $U_{d}$, respectively.
