We propose a simple extension of the Standard Model (SM) by adding an extra U(1) symmetry which is hidden from the SM sector. Such a hidden U(1) has not been considered before, and its existence at the TeV scale can be explored at the LHC. This hidde
n U(1) does not couple directly to the SM particles, and couples only to new SU(2)_L singlet exotic quarks and singlet Higgs bosons, and is broken at the TeV scale. The dominant signals at the high energy hadron colliders are multi lepton and multi b-jet final states with or without missing energy. We calculate the signal rates as well as the corresponding Standard Model background for these final states. A very distinctive signal is 6 high p_T b-jets in the final state with no missing energy. For a wide range of the exotic quarks masses the signals are observable above the background at the LHC.
