用ATLAS探测器对$ZZ\to4\ell$和$ZZ\to2\ell2ν$末态的离壳希格斯玻色子产生和希格斯玻色子总宽度的限制

Constraints on off-shell Higgs boson production and the Higgs boson total width in $ZZ\to4\ell$ and $ZZ\to2\ell2ν$ final states with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

摘要:

使用来自质量中心能量为$\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV的质子-质子碰撞的数据,测量了$ZZ\to4\ell$和$ZZ\to2\ell2ν$衰变通道中的离壳希格斯玻色子产生,其中$\ell$代表电子或μ子。这些数据是由2015年和2016年在大型强子对撞机上进行的ATLAS实验收集的,它们对应于36.1 fb $^{-1}$的积分亮度。在95%的置信水平(CL)下,获得了离壳希格斯信号强度的观测(预期)上限,定义为标准模型预测的事件产率归一化为3.8(3.4)。假设希格斯玻色子玻色子与标准模型预测的耦合比与分析中考虑的希格斯玻色子产生机制的动量转移无关,结合壳层上信号强度测量,得到希格斯玻色子玻色子总宽度的观测(预期)95% CL上限为14.4(15.2)MeV。

英文摘要:

A measurement of off-shell Higgs boson production in the $ZZ\to4\ell$ and $ZZ\to2\ell2ν$ decay channels, where $\ell$ stands for either an electron or a muon, is performed using data from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. The data were collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2015 and 2016 at the Large Hadron Collider, and they correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$. An observed (expected) upper limit on the off-shell Higgs signal strength, defined as the event yield normalised to the Standard Model prediction, of 3.8 (3.4) is obtained at 95% confidence level (CL). Assuming the ratio of the Higgs boson couplings to the Standard Model predictions is independent of the momentum transfer of the Higgs production mechanism considered in the analysis, a combination with the on-shell signal-strength measurements yields an observed (expected) 95% CL upper limit on the Higgs boson total width of 14.4 (15.2) MeV.
