sqrt(s)= 13 TeV质子-质子碰撞中多轻子末态III型跷跷板机制的证据

Search for evidence of the type-III seesaw mechanism in multilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV

CMS Collaboration

摘要:

搜索与III型跷跷板机制的事件与三个或更多的电子或μ子的信号一致。数据样本由2016年LHC的CMS实验收集的sqrt(s)= 13 TeV的质子-质子碰撞组成,对应于35.9个反飞秒的积分亮度。选择标准的基础上的轻子的数量和不变质量的相反符号的轻子对被用来区分信号从标准模型背景。观察结果与标准模型工艺的预期一致。结果被用来放置限制生产的重费米子的III型跷跷板模型作为一个功能的分支比,每个轻子的味道。在每个轻子味的分支分数相等的情况下,质量低于840 GeV的重费米子被排除在外。这是迄今为止第三类跷跷板机制最灵敏的探测器。

英文摘要:

A search for a signal consistent with the type-III seesaw mechanism in events with three or more electrons or muons is presented. The data sample consists of proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 inverse femtobarns. Selection criteria based on the number of leptons and the invariant mass of opposite-sign lepton pairs are used to distinguish the signal from the standard model background. The observations are consistent with the expectations from standard model processes. The results are used to place limits on the production of heavy fermions of the type-III seesaw model as a function of the branching ratio to each lepton flavor. In the scenario of equal branching fractions to each lepton flavor, heavy fermions with masses below 840 GeV are excluded. This is the most sensitive probe to date of the type-III seesaw mechanism.
