用ATLAS探测器在$\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV的$pp$碰撞中寻找具有位移顶点和具有大碰撞参量的μ子的事件中的长寿命大质量粒子

Search for long-lived, massive particles in events with a displaced vertex and a muon with large impact parameter in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

摘要:

寻找长寿命的粒子衰变成强子和至少一个μ子。该分析选择通过μ子或缺失横向动量触发器并包含位移μ子轨道和位移顶点的事件。用ATLAS探测器收集了$\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV质子-质子碰撞的分析数据集,对应于136 fb $^{-1}$。搜索采用专用的重建技术,显着提高了对ATLAS内部探测器中发生的长寿命粒子衰变的灵敏度。从数据中提取标准模型过程和仪器效应的背景估计值。观测到的事件产额与背景过程的预期结果是一致的。结果是在95%的置信水平上的标准模型以外的过程的模型独立的横截面的限制,并解释为排除限制的情况下,通过一个小的$R$宇称破坏耦合到夸克和μ子的长寿命的顶方衰变成对生产。质量高达1.7 TeV的顶方被排除在0.1 ns的寿命之外,质量低于1.3 TeV的顶方被排除在0.01 ns和30 ns之间的寿命之外。

英文摘要:

A search for long-lived particles decaying into hadrons and at least one muon is presented. The analysis selects events that pass a muon or missing-transverse-momentum trigger and contain a displaced muon track and a displaced vertex. The analyzed dataset of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV was collected with the ATLAS detector and corresponds to 136 fb$^{-1}$. The search employs dedicated reconstruction techniques that significantly increase the sensitivity to long-lived particle decays that occur in the ATLAS inner detector. Background estimates for Standard Model processes and instrumental effects are extracted from data. The observed event yields are compatible with those expected from background processes. The results are presented as limits at 95% confidence level on model-independent cross sections for processes beyond the Standard Model, and interpreted as exclusion limits in scenarios with pair-production of long-lived top squarks that decay via a small $R$-parity-violating coupling into a quark and a muon. Top squarks with masses up to 1.7 TeV are excluded for a lifetime of 0.1 ns, and masses below 1.3 TeV are excluded for lifetimes between 0.01 ns and 30 ns.
