摘要:

我们演示了使用矩阵元法(MEM)的质量,宽度和耦合的情况下,单或对生产的半不可见的衰减共振的测量。为了确定性,我们考虑了两体衰变的通用共振的可见粒子从标准模型(SM)和一个巨大的不可见粒子。众所周知,质量差可以从横向运动学变量(如横向质量$M_T$或剑桥$M_{T2}$变量)的端点提取,但测量总质量尺度是一个非常困难的问题。我们表明,MEM可以用来获得不仅是绝对的质量尺度,但也共振的宽度和张量结构的耦合。除了新的物理搜索,我们的研究结果可以很容易地应用到的情况下,SM $W$玻色子生产的欧洲核子研究中心大型强子对撞机(LHC),在那里可以重复测量的$W$属性在一个通用的和模型无关的框架。

英文摘要:

We demonstrate the use of the Matrix Element Method (MEM) for the measurement of masses, widths, and couplings in the case of single or pair production of semi-invisibly decaying resonances. For definiteness, we consider the two-body decay of a generic resonance to a visible particle from the Standard Model (SM) and a massive invisible particle. It is well known that the mass difference can be extracted from the endpoint of a transverse kinematic variable like the transverse mass, $M_T$, or the Cambridge $M_{T2}$ variable, but measuring the overall mass scale is a very difficult problem. We show that the MEM can be used to obtain not only the absolute mass scale, but also the width of the resonance and the tensor structure of its couplings. Apart from new physics searches, our results can be readily applied to the case of SM $W$ boson production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where one can repeat the measurements of the $W$ properties in a general and model-independent framework.
