    We study the single production of fourth-family quarks through the process pp → Q ′ jX 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 for the 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 t ′ q |,| V qb ′ |≳0.01.
