新物理学和使用LHC重离子碰撞的τ $g-2$

New physics and tau $g-2$ using LHC heavy ion collisions

Lydia Beresford, Jesse Liu

摘要:

τ轻子$a_τ= (g_τ-2)/2$的反常磁矩很难测量,但对复合性或超对称性等新物理非常敏感。我们建议使用超周边重离子碰撞在大型强子对撞机探测修改后的磁$δa_τ$和电偶极矩$δd_τ$。我们引入了一套单电子/μ子加径迹分析,利用异常干净的光子聚变$γγ\to ττ$事件来重建对$δa_τ, δd_τ$敏感的轻子和强子τ衰变。假设10%的系统不确定性,当前2 nb $^{-1}$电极导线-电极导线数据集已经可以提供$-0.0080 < a_τ< 0.0046$在68% CL下的限制。这超过了15年前的轻子对撞机精度的三倍,同时为新物理学开辟了新的途径。

英文摘要:

The anomalous magnetic moment of the tau lepton $a_τ= (g_τ-2)/2$ strikingly evades measurement, but is highly sensitive to new physics such as compositeness or supersymmetry. We propose using ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions at the LHC to probe modified magnetic $δa_τ$ and electric dipole moments $δd_τ$. We introduce a suite of one electron/muon plus track(s) analyses, leveraging the exceptionally clean photon fusion $γγ\to ττ$ events to reconstruct both leptonic and hadronic tau decays sensitive to $δa_τ, δd_τ$. Assuming 10% systematic uncertainties, the current 2 nb$^{-1}$ lead-lead dataset could already provide constraints of $-0.0080 < a_τ< 0.0046$ at 68% CL. This surpasses 15 year old lepton collider precision by a factor of three while opening novel avenues to new physics.
