用LHCb探测器测量Tau末态的电弱和Higgs

Electroweak and Higgs Measurements Using Tau Final States with the LHCb Detector

Philip Ilten

摘要:

在Pythia 8事件生成软件中包含了τ轻子衰变的自旋关联,并计算了由电弱和希格斯玻色子产生的τ轻子衰变的自旋关联.使用复杂的共振模型的τ轻子的衰变包括在Pythia 8中,实验观察到的分支分数大于0.04%的所有通道。这些通道的衰变产物的质量分布进行了验证,并描述了这些衰变的技术实现。利用LHCb探测器收集的sqrt(s)= 7TeV pp碰撞的1.0逆fb数据测量了Z到di-τ的包容截面。重建的末态包含两个μ子,一个μ子和一个电子,一个μ子和一个带电强子,或一个电子和一个带电强子被选为候选人。质量在60到120 GeV之间的Z玻色子衰变为赝快度在2.0到4.5之间、横动量大于20 GeV的τ轻子的截面被测量为72.3 ± 3.5 ± 2.9 ± 2.5 pb。第一个不确定度是统计的,第二个不确定度是系统的,第三个是由于积分亮度的不确定度。中性希格斯玻色子玻色子衰变为τ轻子对的产生极限在2.0到4.5之间,使用相同的LHCb数据集设定在95%的置信水平。中性希格斯玻色子玻色子衰变为τ轻子的模型独立的上限的生产设置和范围之间的8.6 pb的希格斯玻色子玻色子的质量为90 GeV的希格斯玻色子玻色子的质量为250 GeV的0.7 pb。CP奇希格斯质量和tan β平面的tan β上限是针对最小超对称模型的mh-最大值设定的,并且从CP奇希格斯玻色子玻色子质量为90 GeV的34到CP奇希格斯玻色子玻色子质量为140 GeV的70不等。

英文摘要:

Spin correlations for tau lepton decays are included in the Pythia 8 event generation software and the spin correlations for the decays of tau leptons produced from electroweak and Higgs bosons are calculated. Decays of the tau lepton using sophisticated resonance models are included in Pythia 8 for all channels with experimentally observed branching fractions greater than 0.04%. The mass distributions for the decay products of these channels are validated and the technical implementation of these decays is described. A measurement of the inclusive Z to di-tau cross-section using 1.0 inverse fb of data from pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV collected with the LHCb detector is presented. Reconstructed final states containing two muons, a muon and an electron, a muon and a charged hadron, or an electron and a charged hadron are selected as candidates. The cross-section for Z bosons with a mass between 60 and 120 GeV decaying into tau leptons with pseudo-rapidities between 2.0 and 4.5 and transverse momenta greater than 20 GeV is measured to be 72.3 +- 3.5 +- 2.9 +- 2.5 pb. The first uncertainty is statistical, the second uncertainty is systematic, and the third is to due the integrated luminosity uncertainty. Limits on the production of neutral Higgs bosons decaying into tau lepton pairs with pseudo-rapidities between 2.0 and 4.5 are set at a 95% confidence level using the same LHCb dataset. A model independent upper limit on the production of neutral Higgs bosons decaying into tau leptons is set and ranges between 8.6 pb for a Higgs boson mass of 90 GeV to 0.7 pb for a Higgs boson mass of 250 GeV. An upper limit on tan-beta in the CP-odd Higgs mass and tan-beta plane is set for the mh-max scenario of the minimal supersymmetric model and varies from 34 for a CP-odd Higgs boson mass of 90 GeV to 70 for a CP-odd Higgs boson mass of 140 GeV.
