用ATLAS探测器在$\sqrt{s}= 13$ TeV上寻找质子-质子碰撞中多轻子末态顶夸克衰变$t\to Hc$和$t \to Hu$中的变味中性流

Search for flavor-changing neutral currents in top quark decays $t\to Hc$ and $t \to Hu$ in multilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}= 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

摘要:

在标准模型中,味道变化的中性流在树的水平上并不存在,并且在循环过程中被Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa矩阵的么正性所抑制;顶夸克衰变过程的相应速率在实验上是不可观测的。标准模型的扩展可以产生新的改变味道的中性电流过程,从而产生信号,如果观察到这些信号,将是新相互作用的明确证据。使用在大型强子对撞机处用ATLAS探测器记录的在$\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV的质心能量下的$pp$碰撞的对应于36.1 fb $^{-1}$的积分光度的数据集来搜索随着希格斯玻色子的发射而衰减到上夸克或魅夸克的顶夸克,随后希格斯玻色子衰减到具有至少一个电子或μ子的最终状态。未观察到信号,并在95%置信水平下获得了分支分数$\mathcal{B}(t \to Hc) <$ 0.16%和$\mathcal{B}(t \to H u) <$ 0.19%的限值(两种情况下的预期限值均为0.15%)。

英文摘要:

Flavor-changing neutral currents are not present in the Standard Model at tree level and are suppressed in loop processes by the unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix; the corresponding rates for top quark decay processes are experimentally unobservable. Extensions of the Standard Model can generate new flavor-changing neutral current processes, leading to signals which, if observed, would be unambiguous evidence of new interactions. A dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider is used to search for top quarks decaying to up or charm quarks with the emission of a Higgs boson, with subsequent Higgs boson decay to final states with at least one electron or muon. No signal is observed and limits on the branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(t \to Hc) <$ 0.16% and $\mathcal{B}(t \to H u) <$ 0.19% at 95% confidence level are obtained (with expected limits of 0.15% in both cases).
