在HERA和EIC上的异常$Zb\bar{b}$耦合

The anomalous $Zb\bar{b}$ couplings at the HERA and EIC

摘要:

为了解决LEP/SLC下底夸克前后不对称性的精确测量与标准模型预测之间长期存在的差异,我们提出了一种新的方法,通过在HERA和EIC上测量带有$b$标记喷注的中性流DIS过程中极化轻子截面的单自旋不对称性$A_e^b$来探测$Zb\bar{b}$耦合.根据最终状态$b$ -喷流的标记效率,HERA对$A_e^b$的测量已经可以部分打破在异常$Zb\bar{b}$耦合中发现的简并性,正如LEP和SLC精密电弱数据所暗示的那样。在EIC的第一年运行中,由于$A_e^b$更大的光度和更高的电子束极化,它的测量已经可以打破简并。在EIC收集到足够积分亮度后,就有可能验证或排除LEP数据并解决$A_{\rm FB}^b$难题。我们还讨论了在EIC的$A_e^b$测量和在HL-LHC的$gg \to Zh$截面测量之间的互补作用,在约束异常的$Zb\bar{b}$耦合。

英文摘要:

To resolve the long-standing discrepancy between the precision measurement of bottom quark forward-backward asymmetry at LEP/SLC and the Standard Model prediction, we propose a novel method to probe the $Zb\bar{b}$ coupling by measuring the single-spin asymmetry $A_e^b$ of the polarized lepton cross section in neutral current DIS processes with a $b$-tagged jet at HERA and EIC. Depending on the tagging efficiency of the final state $b$-jet, the measurement of $A_e^b$ at HERA can already partially break the degeneracy found in the anomalous $Zb\bar{b}$ coupling, as implied by the LEP and SLC precision electroweak data. In the first year run of the EIC, the measurement of $A_e^b$ can already break the degeneracy, due to its much larger luminosity and higher electron beam polarization. With enough integrated luminosity collected at the EIC, it is possible to either verify or exclude the LEP data and resolve the $A_{\rm FB}^b$ puzzle. We also discuss the complementary roles between the proposed $A_e^b$ measurement at EIC and the measurement of $gg \to Zh$ cross section at the HL-LHC in constraining the anomalous $Zb\bar{b}$ coupling.
