This poster presents a search for excited quarks (q*) decaying into a γ + jet final state at √s = 8 TeV with the CMS experiment, using the dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1 collected during 2012 data taking at the LHC. Photons and jets with high transverse momentum are selected to search for a resonance peak in the γ + jet invariant mass distribution. The 95% confidence level upper limits on cross section times branching ratio are evaluated as a function of excited quark mass (Mq*). We exclude at 95% CL excited quarks with 0.7 < Mq* < 3.5 TeV for standard model couplings, and present exclusions of excited quark mass as a function of coupling strength.
