用ATLAS探测器寻找顶夸克衰变中的$tZ$味变中性流

Search for $tZ$ Flavour Changing Neutral Currents in top-quark decays with the ATLAS detector

A. Durglishvili

摘要:

研究了顶夸克衰变中的变味中性流(FCNC)过程。收集的数据从质子-质子碰撞在大型强子对撞机在一个中心的质量能量为$\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV对应于一个综合光度为36 fb $^{-1}$,进行了分析。对顶夸克对产生事件进行搜索,其中一个顶夸克通过$t\to qZ$($q=u,c$)FCNC通道衰变,另一个通过占主导地位的标准模型模式$t\to bW$衰变。只有$Z$玻色子衰变为带电轻子和轻子$W$玻色子衰变被认为是信号。$t\to uZ$和$t\to cZ$的分支比的观测和预期上限设定为95\%置信水平,并且比ATLAS检测器的运行1数据获得的值好约3倍。

英文摘要:

A search for flavour-changing neutral current (FCNC) processes in top-quark decays is presented. Data collected from proton-proton collisions at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb$^{-1}$, are analysed. A search is performed for top-quark pair-production events, with one top-quark decaying through the $t\to qZ$ ($q=u,c$) FCNC channel, and the other through the dominant Standard Model mode $t\to bW$. Only the decays of the $Z$ boson to charged leptons and leptonic $W$ boson decays are considered as signal. No evidence for a signal is found. The observed and expected upper limits on the branching ratio of $t\to uZ$ and $t\to cZ$ are set at 95\% confidence level and are about a factor 3 better than the ones obtained with the Run 1 data of the ATLAS detector.
