摘要:

利用大型强子对撞机(LHC)上的CMS探测器,在质心能量为13 TeV的条件下,研究了质子-质子碰撞中四轻子的产生,其中$\ell = \mathrm{e}$或$μ$为$\mathrm{pp}\to (\mathrm{Z}/ γ^*)(\mathrm{Z}/γ^*) \to 4\ell$。数据样本对应于35.9 fb $^{-1}$的积分光度。ZZ生产的截面,$σ(\mathrm{pp} \to \mathrm{Z}\mathrm{Z}) = 17.2 \pm 0.5\text{ (stat) }\pm 0.7\text{ (syst) }\pm 0.4(\mathrm{theo}) \pm 0.4\text{ (lumi)}$ PB,测量使用事件与两个相反的符号,相同的味道轻子对产生的质量区域$60 < m_{\ell^+\ell^-} < $ 120 GeV,是符合标准模型的预测。微分截面的测量和很好地描述了理论预测。对于四轻子不变质量在80 $ < m_{4\ell} < $ ~ 100 GeV范围内的事件和双轻子质量$m_{\ell\ell} > $ ~ 4 GeV范围内的事件,测得Z玻色子分支到四轻子的分数为$\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{Z}\to 4\ell) = 4.8 \pm 0.2\text{ (stat) }\pm 0.2\text{ (syst) } \pm 0.1\text{ (theo) }\pm 0.1\text{ (lumi) }\times 10^{-6}$。结果与标准模型预测一致。四轻子系统的不变质量分布被用来在95%的置信水平上对反常的ZZZ和ZZ $γ$耦合设置限制:$-0.0012 < f_4^\mathrm{Z} < 0.0010$,$-0.0010 < f_5^\mathrm{Z} < 0.0013$,$-0.0012 < f_4^γ < 0.0013$,$-0.0012 < f_5^γ < 0.0013$。

英文摘要:

Four-lepton production in proton-proton collisions, $\mathrm{pp}\to (\mathrm{Z}/ γ^*)(\mathrm{Z}/γ^*) \to 4\ell$, where $\ell = \mathrm{e}$ or $μ$, is studied at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The ZZ production cross section, $σ(\mathrm{pp} \to \mathrm{Z}\mathrm{Z}) = 17.2 \pm 0.5\text{ (stat) }\pm 0.7\text{ (syst) }\pm 0.4(\mathrm{theo}) \pm 0.4\text{ (lumi)}$ pb, measured using events with two opposite-sign, same-flavor lepton pairs produced in the mass region $60 < m_{\ell^+\ell^-} < $120 GeV, is consistent with standard model predictions. Differential cross sections are measured and are well described by the theoretical predictions. The Z boson branching fraction to four leptons is measured to be $\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{Z}\to 4\ell) = 4.8 \pm 0.2\text{ (stat) }\pm 0.2\text{ (syst) } \pm 0.1\text{ (theo) }\pm 0.1\text{ (lumi) }\times 10^{-6}$ for events with a four-lepton invariant mass in the range 80 $ < m_{4\ell} < $ 100 GeV and a dilepton mass $m_{\ell\ell} > $4 GeV for all opposite-sign, same-flavor lepton pairs. The results agree with standard model predictions. The invariant mass distribution of the four-lepton system is used to set limits on anomalous ZZZ and ZZ$γ$ couplings at 95% confidence level: $-0.0012 < f_4^\mathrm{Z} < 0.0010$, $-0.0010 < f_5^\mathrm{Z} < 0.0013$, $-0.0012 < f_4^γ < 0.0013$, $-0.0012 < f_5^γ < 0.0013$.
