用CMS探测器观测衰变$\mathrm{Z}\toψ\,\ell^+\ell^-\toμ^+μ^-\ell^+\ell^-$

Observation of the decay $\mathrm{Z}\toψ\,\ell^+\ell^-\toμ^+μ^-\ell^+\ell^-$ with the CMS detector

S. Leontsinis

摘要:

观测到$\mathrm{Z}$玻色子稀有衰变为一个$ψ$介子和两个带相反电荷的同味轻子$\ell^+ \ell^-$,其中$ψ$代表$\mathrm{J}/ψ$和$ψ(\mathrm{2S})\to\mathrm{J}/ψ\, X$之和,以及$\ell=μ,\mathrm{e}$.所使用的数据样本对应于由CMS实验在LHC积累的质量中心能量为$13\,\mathrm{TeV}$的质子-质子碰撞的积分光度$35.9\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$。观察到的信号具有超过5个标准差的显著性。去除$ψ(\mathrm{2S})$衰变对$\mathrm{J}/ψ$的贡献,信号被解释为完全来自$\mathrm{Z}\to\mathrm{J}/ψ\,\ell^+\ell^-$,其相对于衰变$\mathrm{Z}\toμ^+μ^-μ^+μ^-$的基准分支分数被测量为$$\frac{\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{Z}\to\mathrm{J}/ψ\,\ell^+\ell^-)}{\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{Z}\toμ^+μ^-μ^+μ^-)}=0.70\pm 0.18\, \mathrm{(stat)} \pm 0.05\, \mathrm{(syst)}.$$。该结果是在假设没有$\mathrm{J}/ψ$偏振的情况下获得的,其中极端偏振情况可以产生$-24\%$到$+22\%$的变化。

英文摘要:

The observation of the $\mathrm{Z}$ boson rare decay to a $ψ$ meson and two oppositely charged same-flavour leptons, $\ell^+ \ell^-$, where $ψ$ represents the sum of $\mathrm{J}/ψ$ and $ψ(\mathrm{2S})\to\mathrm{J}/ψ\, X$, and $\ell=μ,\mathrm{e}$, is presented. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $35.9\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $13\,\mathrm{TeV}$ accumulated by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The signal is observed with a significance in excess of 5 standard deviations. Removing contributions from $ψ(\mathrm{2S})$ decays to $\mathrm{J}/ψ$, the signal is interpreted as being entirely from $\mathrm{Z}\to\mathrm{J}/ψ\,\ell^+\ell^-$, with its fiducial branching fraction relative to that of the decay $\mathrm{Z}\toμ^+μ^-μ^+μ^-$ measured to be $$\frac{\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{Z}\to\mathrm{J}/ψ\,\ell^+\ell^-)}{\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{Z}\toμ^+μ^-μ^+μ^-)}=0.70\pm 0.18\, \mathrm{(stat)} \pm 0.05\, \mathrm{(syst)}.$$ This result is obtained with the assumption of no $\mathrm{J}/ψ$ polarisation, where extreme polarisation scenarios can create $-24\%$ to $+22\%$ variations.
