寻找在sqrt(s)= 7 TeV的pp碰撞中产生的停止的长寿命粒子

Search for stopped long-lived particles produced in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

CMS Collaboration

摘要:

在CERN LHC的7 TeV质子-质子操作期间,已经对在CMS探测器中停止的长寿命粒子进行了搜索。当CMS探测器中没有质子-质子碰撞时,即在LHC束交叉之间的间隙中,可以通过观察它们的衰变来推断这些粒子的存在。使用CMS记录的积分亮度为4.0毫微微巴恩斯的数据集,以及对应于246小时触发实时时间的搜索间隔,观察到12个事件,平均背景预测为8.6 +/- 2.4个事件。极限是在95%的置信水平上对长寿命的胶子和停止生产,超过13个数量级的粒子寿命。假设R-强子相互作用的“云模型”,质量低于640 GeV的胶子和质量低于340 GeV的停止子被排除在外,寿命在10微秒到1000秒之间。

英文摘要:

A search has been performed for long-lived particles that have stopped in the CMS detector, during 7 TeV proton-proton operations of the CERN LHC. The existence of such particles could be inferred from observation of their decays when there were no proton-proton collisions in the CMS detector, namely during gaps between LHC beam crossings. Using a data set in which CMS recorded an integrated luminosity of 4.0 inverse femtobarns, and a search interval corresponding to 246 hours of trigger live time, 12 events are observed, with a mean background prediction of 8.6 +/- 2.4 events. Limits are presented at 95% confidence level on long-lived gluino and stop production, over 13 orders of magnitude of particle lifetime. Assuming the "cloud model" of R-hadron interactions, a gluino with mass below 640 GeV and a stop with mass below 340 GeV are excluded, for lifetimes between 10 microseconds and 1000 seconds.
