We report the most restrictive direct limits on masses of fourth-generation down-type quarks b′, and quarklike composite fermions (B or T5/3), decaying promptly to tW∓. We search for a significant excess of events with two same-charge leptons (e, mu), several hadronic jets, and missing transverse energy. An analysis of data from pp̅ collisions with an integrated luminosity of 2.7 fb[superscript -1] collected with the CDF II detector at Fermilab yields no evidence for such a signal, setting mass limits mb′, mB>338 GeV/c[superscript 2] and mT5/3>365 GeV/c[superscript 2] at 95% confidence level.
