LHC的自旋测定

A Review of Spin Determination at the LHC

Lian-Tao Wang, Itay Yavin

摘要:

一旦在LHC发现了TeV尺度的新物理,自旋测量对于区分主要场景至关重要。本文简要介绍了在LHC上测量新物理粒子自旋的方法。我们专注于在每个级联衰变和逃逸检测结束时产生一个长寿命的大质量中性粒子的情况。这就是R宇称保持超对称性的情况,T宇称的小希格斯模型,KK宇称的额外维模型,以及一大类类似的模型和场景。在简要评述了通过结合质量和速率信息来测量自旋之后,我们集中讨论了通过观察新物理粒子衰变产物之间的角关联来直接测量自旋。我们调查了广泛的可能的渠道,讨论了可能的相关变量的建设,并概述了实验的挑战。我们还简要地调查了蒙特卡罗工具,这是有用的研究这种相关性。

英文摘要:

Spin measurements are crucial in distinguishing major scenarios of TeV scale new physics once it is discovered at the LHC. We give a brief survey of methods of measuring the spin of new physics particles at the LHC. We focus on the case in which a long lived massive neutral particle is produced at the end of every cascade decay and escape detection. This is the case for R-parity preserving supersymmetry, Little Higgs models with T-parity, extra-dimensional models with KK-parity, and a large class of similar models and scenarios. After briefly commenting on measuring spin by combining mass and rate information, we concentrate on direct measurement by observing angular correlations among decay products of the new physics particles. We survey a wide range of possible channels, discuss the construction of possible correlation variables, and outline experimental challenges. We also briefly survey the Monte-Carlo tools which are useful in studying such correlations.
