新的或$ν$缺少能量?在LHC上鉴别暗物质和中微子相互作用

New or $ν$ Missing Energy? Discriminating Dark Matter from Neutrino Interactions at the LHC

Diogo Buarque Franzosi, Mads T. Frandsen, Ian M. Shoemaker

摘要:

丢失的能量信号,如单喷流,可能是对撞机上暗物质(DM)的特征。然而,超出标准模型的中微子相互作用也可能产生丢失的能量信号。为了得出观察到新的“丢失粒子”的结论,必须拒绝BSM中微子相互作用的假设。在本文中,我们首先推导出这些非标准中微子相互作用(NSIs)的LHC单喷流数据的新限制。对于重NSI介质,这些限制比那些来自传统的低能$ν$散射或$ν$振荡实验的一些风味结构强得多。单射流数据本身可以用来从丢失的能量分布的形状推断“丢失的粒子”的质量。特别地,13 TeV LHC数据将对大于$\sim$ 1 TeV的DM质量具有灵敏度。除了单喷射通道,NSI可以探测多轻子搜索,我们发现产生更强的限制在重介质质量。这些多轻子通道提供的灵敏度提供了一种方法来拒绝或确认DM假设在丢失的能量搜索。

英文摘要:

Missing energy signals such as monojets are a possible signature of Dark Matter (DM) at colliders. However, neutrino interactions beyond the Standard Model may also produce missing energy signals. In order to conclude that new "missing particles" are observed the hypothesis of BSM neutrino interactions must be rejected. In this paper, we first derive new limits on these Non-Standard neutrino Interactions (NSIs) from LHC monojet data. For heavy NSI mediators, these limits are much stronger than those coming from traditional low-energy $ν$ scattering or $ν$ oscillation experiments for some flavor structures. Monojet data alone can be used to infer the mass of the "missing particle" from the shape of the missing energy distribution. In particular, 13 TeV LHC data will have sensitivity to DM masses greater than $\sim$ 1 TeV. In addition to the monojet channel, NSI can be probed in multi-lepton searches which we find to yield stronger limits at heavy mediator masses. The sensitivity offered by these multi-lepton channels provide a method to reject or confirm the DM hypothesis in missing energy searches.
