用ATLAS探测器在$\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV上测量质子-质子碰撞中希格斯玻色子衰变为τ轻子对的截面

Cross-section measurements of the Higgs boson decaying into a pair of tau-leptons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

摘要:

在$H\rightarrowττ$衰变通道中测量了质子-质子碰撞中希格斯玻色子的产生截面。使用$36.1\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$的数据记录的ATLAS实验在大型强子对撞机的$\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV的质心能量进行分析。轻子($τ\rightarrow l ν\barν$与$l = e$,$μ$)和强子($τ\to \mathrm{hadrons} ν$)τ衰变的所有组合被认为是。在其他标准模型过程的预期背景下,建立$H\rightarrowττ$信号,观察(预期)显著性为4.4(4.1)标准差。结合使用在7和8 TeV的质心能量的数据获得的结果,观察到的(预期)的显着性的金额为6.4(5.4)标准偏差,并构成$H\rightarrowττ$衰变的观察。使用在$\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV处获得的数据,对于质量为125 GeV的希格斯玻色子,假设其产生模式的相对贡献如标准模型所预测的那样,测量$H\rightarrowττ$衰变通道中的总截面为$3.77^{+0.60}_{-0.59}\mathrm{(stat.)}^{+0.87}_{-0.74}\mathrm{(syst.)}\mathrm{pb}$。在$H\rightarrowττ$衰变通道中的总截面分别确定为矢量玻色子融合产生和胶子-胶子融合产生,分别为$0.28 \pm 0.09\mathrm{(stat.)}^{+0.11}_{-0.09}\mathrm{(syst.)}\mathrm{pb}$和$3.1 \pm 1.0\mathrm{(stat.)}^{+1.6}_{-1.3}\mathrm{(syst.)}\mathrm{pb}$。类似地,拟合的结果在简化的模板横截面的框架中报告。所有测量结果均符合标准模型的预期。

英文摘要:

A measurement of production cross sections of the Higgs boson in proton-proton collisions is presented in the $H\rightarrowττ$ decay channel. The analysis is performed using $36.1\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. All combinations of leptonic ($τ\rightarrow l ν\barν$ with $l = e$, $μ$) and hadronic ($τ\to \mathrm{hadrons} ν$) tau decays are considered. The $H\rightarrowττ$ signal over the expected background from other Standard Model processes is established with an observed (expected) significance of 4.4 (4.1) standard deviations. Combined with results obtained using data taken at 7 and 8 TeV center-of-mass energies, the observed (expected) significance amounts to 6.4 (5.4) standard deviations and constitutes an observation of $H\rightarrowττ$ decays. Using the data taken at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, the total cross section in the $H\rightarrowττ$ decay channel is measured to be $3.77^{+0.60}_{-0.59}\mathrm{(stat.)}^{+0.87}_{-0.74}\mathrm{(syst.)}\mathrm{pb}$, for a Higgs boson of mass 125 GeV assuming the relative contributions of its production modes as predicted by the Standard Model. Total cross sections in the $H\rightarrowττ$ decay channel are determined separately for vector-boson-fusion production and gluon-gluon-fusion production to be $0.28 \pm 0.09\mathrm{(stat.)}^{+0.11}_{-0.09}\mathrm{(syst.)}\mathrm{pb}$ and $3.1 \pm 1.0\mathrm{(stat.)}^{+1.6}_{-1.3}\mathrm{(syst.)}\mathrm{pb}$, respectively. Similarly, results of a fit are reported in the framework of simplified template cross sections. All measurements are in agreement with Standard Model expectations.
