LHC双轻子搜索对具有普适额外维模型的约束

Constraints on models with universal extra dimensions from dilepton searches at the LHC

Lisa Edelhäuser, Thomas Flacke, Michael Krämer

摘要:

具有普适额外维度的模型预测,每个标准模型粒子都伴随着卡鲁扎-克莱因共振塔。由于卡鲁扎-克莱因粒子的质谱相当压缩,通过丢失的横向动量特征来寻找第一卡鲁扎-克莱因模式的产生和级联衰变的正则搜索通常会受到低检测效率的影响。在这里,相反,我们分析的签名,从生产的第二卡鲁扎-克莱因状态,可以衰变成标准模型粒子,从而不会导致任何丢失的横向动量。这样的签名提供了很强的灵敏度,并且特别令人感兴趣,因为它们将允许在额外维度模型和新物理学的其他模型(如超对称性)之间进行明确区分。我们限制生产的第二个卡鲁扎-克莱因粒子从最近的LHC搜索双轻子共振,并把限制的紧化尺度大于715 GeV,和第二卡鲁扎-克莱因粒子的质量大于1.4 TeV。

英文摘要:

Models with universal extra dimensions predict that each Standard Model particle is accompanied by a tower of Kaluza-Klein resonances. Canonical searches for the production and cascade decays of first Kaluza-Klein modes through missing transverse momentum signatures suffer in general from low detection efficiencies because of the rather compressed Kaluza-Klein particle mass spectrum. Here, instead we analyze signatures from the production of second Kaluza-Klein states which can decay into Standard Model particles and thus do not result in any missing transverse momentum. Such signatures provide a strong sensitivity, and are of particular interest as they would allow for a clear distinction between extra dimension models and other models of new physics like supersymmetry. We constrain the production of second Kaluza-Klein particles from recent LHC searches for dilepton resonances, and place limits on the compactification scale to be larger than 715GeV, and on the masses of the second Kaluza-Klein particles to be larger than 1.4TeV.
