Single production of vector-like top partners is becoming a major focus ofnew searches, as the increasing mass limits on vector-like quarks obtained bythe ATLAS and CMS collaborations are such that single production is becomingcompetitive with respect to pair production. Typically searches focus on decayscontaining leptons in the final state in order to have less background from theStandard Model processes. However the current centre of mass energies availablein the latest LHC runs limit the searches to low masses. Fully hadronic finalstates may be an alternative option for discovery, as they allow a largernumber of signal events if backgrounds can be kept under control. We study thefully hadronic decay of a singly produced vector-like top partner and we show astrategy to extract the signal over the background, considering as a benchmarkthe 20 fb^-1 of data collected at 8 TeV with the latest run of the LHC.
