在$\sqrt{s} = $ 8 TeV质子-质子碰撞中寻找类矢量轻味夸克伙伴

Search for vector-like light-flavor quark partners in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $8 TeV

CMS Collaboration

摘要:

在大型强子对撞机(LHC)的$\sqrt{s} =$ 8 TeV质子-质子碰撞中寻找只与轻夸克耦合的重矢量类夸克(VLQs).这些数据由CMS实验在2012年期间收集,对应于19.7 fb $^{-1}$的积分亮度。单个和对生产VLQ被认为是。单产生搜索针对向下型VLQ(幅度为1/3的电荷)执行,而成对产生搜索对向上型VLQ(幅度为2/3的电荷)和向下型VLQ敏感。最后状态至少有一个μ子或一个电子被认为是。没有观察到明显超过标准模型预期的情况,并推导出VLQ质量的下限。下限在400到1800 GeV之间,这取决于单一生产截面和VLQ分支分数B到W,Z和希格斯玻色子玻色子。当单独考虑对产生时,B(W)= 1.0时,质量低于845 GeV的VLQ被排除在外,而B(W)= 0.5,B(Z)= B(H)= 0.25时,质量低于685 GeV的VLQ被排除在外。结果是更严格的比以前获得的单和对生产VLQs耦合到轻夸克。

英文摘要:

A search is presented for heavy vector-like quarks (VLQs) that couple only to light quarks in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 8 TeV at the LHC. The data were collected by the CMS experiment during 2012 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb$^{-1}$. Both single and pair production of VLQs are considered. The single-production search is performed for down-type VLQs (electric charge of magnitude 1/3), while the pair-production search is sensitive to up-type (charge of magnitude 2/3) and down-type VLQs. Final states with at least one muon or one electron are considered. No significant excess over standard model expectations is observed, and lower limits on the mass of VLQs are derived. The lower limits range from 400 to 1800 GeV, depending on the single-production cross section and the VLQ branching fractions B to W, Z, and Higgs bosons. When considering pair production alone, VLQs with masses below 845 GeV are excluded for B(W) = 1.0, and below 685 GeV for B(W) = 0.5, B(Z) = B(H) = 0.25. The results are more stringent than those previously obtained for single and pair production of VLQs coupled to light quarks.
