对撞机上的移位暗物质

Displaced Dark Matter at Colliders

Spencer Chang, Markus A. Luty

摘要:

暗物质与可观测扇区的耦合非常弱的模型可以解释观测到的暗物质密度,无论是作为“超级WIMP”还是作为“非对称暗物质”。“这两种类型的模型都预测了碰撞器上的位移顶点,并具有丰富的可能现象。我们分类的情况下,衰变可以自然地发生在粒子探测器内的LHC,特别关注的非平凡的情况下,衰变粒子是不可见的。这些不可见的位移顶点的位置和时间的识别显着提高了重建新物理模型,如超对称性的前景。在许多情况下,重建位移衰变的可见产物可以确定暗物质质量,从而可以根据对撞机数据预测暗物质密度。

英文摘要:

Models in which the dark matter is very weakly coupled to the observable sector may explain the observed dark matter density, either as a "superWIMP" or as "asymmetric dark matter." Both types of models predict displaced vertices at colliders, with a rich variety of possible phenomenology. We classify the cases in which the decays can naturally occur inside particle detectors at the LHC, with particular focus on the nontrivial scenarios where the decaying particle is invisible. Identification of the position and timing of these invisible displaced vertices significantly improves the prospects of reconstructing the new physics in models such as supersymmetry. In many cases, reconstruction of the visible products of the displaced decay can determine the dark matter mass, allowing the dark matter density to be predicted from collider data.
