We consider the pair production of color triplet spin-3/2 quarks and their subsequent decays at the LHC. This particle, if produced, will most likely decay into top quark and gluon, bottom quark and gluon, or a light quark jet and gluon, depending on the quantum number of the spin-3/2 particle. This would lead to signals with ttbar+jj, bbbar+jj, or 4j in the final states. We present a detailed analysis of the signals and backgrounds at sqrt{s}= 7, 8 and 14 TeV and show the reach for such particles by solving for observable mass values for the spin-3/2 quarks through its decay products.
