用ATLAS探测器寻找在$\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV的$pp$碰撞中产生并衰变为准直轻子或轻强子的轻长寿命中性粒子

Search for light long-lived neutral particles produced in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV and decaying into collimated leptons or light hadrons with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

摘要:

在标准模型之外的几个物理模型预言了暗光子的存在,即轻的中性粒子衰变成准直轻子或轻强子。本文研究了希格斯玻色子或重标量玻色子衰变到位移准直标准模型费米子中产生的长寿命暗光子。该搜索使用了2015-2016年在大型强子对撞机上使用ATLAS探测器记录的$\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV质子-质子碰撞中收集的36.1 fb $^{-1}$的积分亮度数据。所观察到的事件数与预期的背景是一致的,和限制的生产截面倍分支分数作为适当的衰变长度的函数的暗光子的报告。对于衰变为两个暗光子的希格斯玻色子玻色子,当暗光子衰变长度在1.5 mm和307 mm之间时,不包括大于4 pb的截面乘以分支分数。

英文摘要:

Several models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict the existence of dark photons, light neutral particles decaying into collimated leptons or light hadrons. This paper presents a search for long-lived dark photons produced from the decay of a Higgs boson or a heavy scalar boson and decaying into displaced collimated Standard Model fermions. The search uses data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ collected in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV recorded in 2015-2016 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed number of events is consistent with the expected background, and limits on the production cross section times branching fraction as a function of the proper decay length of the dark photon are reported. A cross section times branching fraction above 4 pb is excluded for a Higgs boson decaying into two dark photons for dark-photon decay lengths between 1.5 mm and 307 mm.
