Abstract: We study single production of exotic vectorlike $Y$ quark with electric charge $|Q_Y|=4/3$ and its subsequent decay at the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). Most of the vector like quark (VLQ) decays have the electroweak $W$ bosons in the intermediate state. Besides their direct productions singly or pairs, the $W$-bosons are involved in decay chains as a result of the decay of a top quark which contributes to the background. This is particularly the case since vectorlike $Y$ quark, which is estimated to be produced with a high cross-section, can only decay via a $W$ boson and a down type quark ($d,s,b$). We calculate the cross sections of signal (for different couplings and mass values) and relevant Standard Model (SM) backgrounds. After a fast simulation of signal and background events, estimations of the sensitivity to the parameters (mass range 1000-2500 GeV for coupling value $kapp{a}_Y=0.5$, and mass range 500-2000 GeV for coupling values $kapp{a}_Y=0.3$ and $kapp{a}_Y=0.15$) have been presented at the HL-LHC with center of mass energy $sqrts=14$ TeV and integrated luminosity projections of 300 fb${}^{-1}$, 1000 fb${}^{-1}$ and 3000 fb${}^{-1}$.
