The LHCb experiment has recently established a sizable width difference between the mass eigenstates of the $B_s$-meson system. This phenomenon leads to a subtle difference at the 10% level between the experimental branching ratios of $B_s$ decays extracted from time-integrated, untagged data samples and their theoretical counterparts. Measuring the corresponding effective $B_s$-decay lifetimes, both branching ratio concepts can be converted into each other. The rare decay $B^0_s\to μ^+μ^-$ and the search for New Physics through this channel is also affected by this effect, which enhances the Standard-Model reference value of the branching ratio by O(10%), while the effective lifetime offers a new observable to search for physics beyond the Standard Model that is complementary to the branching ratio.
New results on the search for $B^0_s\rightarrow μ^+μ^-$ from LHCb
利用LHCb实验,使用在$\sqrt s=8$收集的1.1\,fb $^{-1}$数据,对稀有衰变$B^0_s\rightarrow μ^+μ^-$和$B^0\rightarrow μ^+μ^-$进行搜索,TeV $ and 1.0\,fb$ ^{-1} $ of data collected at $ \sqrt s=7 $\,TeV. An excess of $ B^0_s \rightarrow μ^+μ^- $ candidates with respect to the background expectations is observed with a statistical significance of 3.5 standard deviations. A branching fraction of $ { \cal BR}(B^0_s \rightarrow μ^+μ^-)=(3.2^{+1.5}_{-1.2})\times 10^{-9} $ is measured with an unbinned maximum likelihood fit. The measured branching fraction is in agreement with the expectation from the Standard Model. The observed n…
Scalar Dark Matter Search at the LHC through FCNC Top Decay
我们讨论了一个扩展的标准模型电弱扇区,它包含一个稳定的标量暗物质粒子,D玻色子。为了在大型强子对撞机上寻找D玻色子,我们利用了变味中性流(FCNC)顶夸克衰变,t->c D D,在一个双希格斯模型框架中,由最轻的标准模型--如希格斯h^0--介导。考虑到D玻色子残余丰度的限制,在这种情况下,t->c D D的分支比可以高达10^{-3}。在10(100)fb^{-1}的积分光度下,14 TeV LHC可以探测到这个分支比的值,它比t \bar{t}的产生小一(两)个数量级,其中t \bar{t} \to c \bar{b} \ell^-(\bar{c} b \ell^+)+缺失的E_T。当D玻色子质量<60 GeV,m_{h^0} < 2 M_Z,光度为10 fb^{-1},分支比BR(t->CDD)为10^{-4}时,14 TeV LHC的信号事件估计数为80个量级。
Study the effect of beam energy spread and detector resolution on the search for Higgs boson decays to invisible particles at a future e$^+$e$^-$ circular collider
我们研究了预期的灵敏度,以测量分支比的希格斯玻色子衰变到不可见的粒子在未来的圆形\epem对撞机(FCC-ee)的过程$e^+e^-\to HZ$与$Z\to \ell^+\ell^-$($\ell=e$或$μ$)使用的集成光度为3.5 ab $^{-1}$在质心能量$\sqrt{s}=240$ GeV。讨论了FCC-ee束的能散和轻子重构中的分辨率的影响。%两种不同的检测器的概念被认为是:检测器对应的CMS重建性能和ILC检测器的预期设计。在3.5 ab $^{-1}$数据采集后,$5σ$观测的最小分支比为$1.7\pm 0.1\%(stat+syst) $。95\% CL下的分支比排除限为$0.63 \pm 0.22\%((stat+syst))$。

在最小R对称超对称标准模型的情形下,分析了轻子味破坏衰变$τ\rightarrow Pl$($P=π,η,η';\;l=e,μ$)。对分支比BR $(τ\rightarrow P e)$和BR $(τ\rightarrow P μ)$的预测分别受到质量插入参数$δ^{13}$和$δ^{23}$的影响。这些参数受到分支比BR($τ\rightarrow e (μ) γ$)和BR($τ\rightarrow 3e(μ)$)的实验界限的约束。结果表明,$Z$企鹅在参数空间的大范围内主导BR($τ\rightarrow Pl$)的预测。BR($τ\rightarrow Pl$)的分支比预测为,至少,五个数量级小于目前的实验界限和三个数量级小于未来的实验灵敏度。
