单喷流搜寻暗物质中的QCD效应

QCD effects in mono-jet searches for dark matter

Ulrich Haisch, Felix Kahlhoefer, Emanuele Re

摘要:

大型强子对撞机寻找与喷流有关的缺失的横向能量,使得暗物质和夸克之间的相互作用有了很强的界限。在这篇文章中,我们提出了一个扩展的POWHEG箱能够计算底层的截面在下一个领先的订单水平。这种方法使我们能够始终包括部分子淋浴的影响,并应用现实的实验削减。我们发现显着的差异,从一个固定的顺序分析,忽略部分子淋浴效果。特别是,下一个领先的顺序校正不会导致一个显着增强的单射流截面,一旦否决额外的射流被强加。然而,这些校正降低了信号预测的理论不确定性,因此提高了导出的界限的可靠性。我们提出了我们的结果,在简单的重新缩放因子,它可以直接应用到现有的实验分析和讨论的影响,改变实验削减。

英文摘要:

LHC searches for missing transverse energy in association with a jet allow to place strong bounds on the interactions between dark matter and quarks. In this article, we present an extension of the POWHEG BOX capable of calculating the underlying cross sections at the next-to-leading order level. This approach enables us to consistently include the effects of parton showering and to apply realistic experimental cuts. We find significant differences from a fixed-order analysis that neglects parton showering effects. In particular, next-to-leading order corrections do not lead to a significant enhancement of the mono-jet cross section once a veto on additional jets is imposed. Nevertheless, these corrections reduce the theoretical uncertainties of the signal prediction and therefore improve the reliability of the derived bounds. We present our results in terms of simple rescaling factors, which can be directly applied to existing experimental analyses and discuss the impact of changing experimental cuts.
