关于长寿命粒子的起源

On the Origin of Long-Lived Particles

Jared Barron, David Curtin

摘要:

MATHUSLA是一个拟议中的大体积位移顶点(DV)探测器,位于CMS上方的表面,旨在寻找HL-LHC产生的长寿命粒子(LLP)。我们表明,在MATHUSLA发现LLP不仅可以证明BSM物理的存在,还可以揭示LLP的理论起源,尽管MATHUSLA没有收集LLP衰变产物的能量或动量信息。我们的分析是简单和强大的,使得它很容易推广到包括更复杂的LLP的情况下,我们的方法是适用于LLP衰变中发现的ATLAS,CMS,LHCb,或其他外部检测器。在LLP检测事件中,MATHUSLA可以作为主检测器的1级触发器,确保在CMS中读取LLP生产事件。我们进行LLP简化模型分析表明,结合MATHUSLA和CMS检测器的信息将允许LLP生产模式拓扑结构被确定与$\sim 100$观察到的LLP衰变。基本的理论参数,如LLP和母粒子质量,也可以用$\lesssim 10\%$精度测量。结合从观测到的DV的几何性质中获得的LLP衰变模式的信息,很明显,MATHUSLA和CMS一起将能够非常详细地描述任何新发现的物理学。

英文摘要:

MATHUSLA is a proposed large-volume displaced vertex (DV) detector, situated on the surface above CMS and designed to search for long-lived particles (LLPs) produced at the HL-LHC. We show that a discovery of LLPs at MATHUSLA would not only prove the existence of BSM physics, it would also uncover the theoretical origin of the LLPs, despite the fact that MATHUSLA gathers no energy or momentum information on the LLP decay products. Our analysis is simple and robust, making it easily generalizable to include more complex LLP scenarios, and our methods are applicable to LLP decays discovered in ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, or other external detectors. In the event of an LLP detection, MATHUSLA can act as a Level-1 trigger for the main detector, guaranteeing that the LLP production event is read out at CMS. We perform an LLP simplified model analysis to show that combining information from the MATHUSLA and CMS detectors would allow the LLP production mode topology to be determined with as few as $\sim 100$ observed LLP decays. Underlying theory parameters, like the LLP and parent particle masses, can also be measured with $\lesssim 10\%$ precision. Together with information on the LLP decay mode from the geometric properties of the observed DV, it is clear that MATHUSLA and CMS together will be able to characterize any newly discovered physics in great detail.
