在$\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV质子-质子碰撞中具有两个底夸克和两个光子的末态非共振希格斯玻色子对产生的研究

Search for nonresonant Higgs boson pair production in final states with two bottom quarks and two photons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

CMS Collaboration

摘要:

本文研究了在末态下两个底夸克和两个光子通过胶子-胶子和矢量玻色子融合过程产生希格斯玻色子玻色子对的非共振过程。搜索使用的数据从质子-质子碰撞的质量中心的能量为$\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV的CMS检测器记录在大型强子对撞机,对应于137 fb的积分光度$^{-1}$。未观察到与仅背景假设的显著偏离。在希格斯玻色子对产生截面和分支分数的乘积上设置95%置信水平的上限为$γγ\mathrm{b\overline{b}}$。观测(预期)上限确定为0.67(0.45)fb,相当于标准模型预测值的7.7(5.2)倍。这项研究对迄今为止希格斯玻色子玻色子对的产生具有最高的灵敏度。假设所有其他的希格斯玻色子耦合都等于它们在标准模型中的值,三线性希格斯玻色子自耦合$κ_λ$和一对希格斯玻色子与一对矢量玻色子之间的耦合$c_{2\mathrm{V}}$的观测耦合修改量在95%的置信水平下被限制在$-$ 3.3 $\ltκ_λ\lt$ 8.5和$-$ 1.3 $\lt c_{2\mathrm{V}}\lt$ 3.5的范围内。对$κ_λ$的约束条件也通过结合这个分析与搜索单希格斯玻色子衰变到两个光子,产生与顶夸克-反夸克对,并通过执行同时拟合的$κ_λ$和顶夸克汤川耦合修改器$κ_t$。

英文摘要:

A search for nonresonant production of Higgs boson pairs via gluon-gluon and vector boson fusion processes in final states with two bottom quarks and two photons is presented. The search uses data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$. No significant deviation from the background-only hypothesis is observed. An upper limit at 95% confidence level is set on the product of the Higgs boson pair production cross section and branching fraction into $γγ\mathrm{b\overline{b}}$. The observed (expected) upper limit is determined to be 0.67 (0.45) fb, which corresponds to 7.7 (5.2) times the standard model prediction. This search has the highest sensitivity to Higgs boson pair production to date. Assuming all other Higgs boson couplings are equal to their values in the standard model, the observed coupling modifiers of the trilinear Higgs boson self-coupling $κ_λ$ and the coupling between a pair of Higgs bosons and a pair of vector bosons $c_{2\mathrm{V}}$ are constrained within the ranges $-$3.3 $\ltκ_λ\lt$ 8.5 and $-$1.3 $\lt c_{2\mathrm{V}}\lt$ 3.5 at 95% confidence level. Constraints on $κ_λ$ are also set by combining this analysis with a search for single Higgs bosons decaying to two photons, produced in association with top quark-antiquark pairs, and by performing a simultaneous fit of $κ_λ$ and the top quark Yukawa coupling modifier $κ_t$.
