寻找在$\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV处有喷流和缺少横向动量的末态中类矢量T夸克衰变为顶夸克和Z玻色子的单一产生

Search for single production of a vector-like T quark decaying to a top quark and a Z boson in the final state with jets and missing transverse momentum at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

CMS Collaboration

摘要:

研究了在顶夸克和Z玻色子衰变通道中产生电荷为2/3 $e$的类矢量T夸克,其中顶夸克衰变为强子,Z玻色子衰变为中微子.该搜索使用CMS实验在13 TeV的质心能量下的质子-质子碰撞中收集的数据,对应于2016-2018年在CERN LHC记录的137 fb $^{-1}$的积分亮度。搜索是敏感的T夸克质量之间的0.6和1.8 TeV的衰变宽度范围从可以忽略不计的小到30%的T夸克质量。顶夸克的重建策略是基于其末态的洛伦兹提升程度。在95%的置信水平下,小衰变宽度的T夸克的截面和分支分数的乘积的上限在15和602 fb之间变化,取决于它的质量。对于衰变宽度在其质量的10%到30%之间的T夸克,这个上限在16到836 fb之间。对于大多数研究范围,结果提供了迄今为止的最佳限度。这是第一次基于LHC的完整运行2数据集搜索单个T夸克的产生。

英文摘要:

A search is presented for single production of a vector-like T quark with charge 2/3 $e$, in the decay channel featuring a top quark and a Z boson, with the top quark decaying hadronically and the Z boson decaying to neutrinos. The search uses data collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$ recorded at the CERN LHC in 2016-2018. The search is sensitive to a T quark mass between 0.6 and 1.8 TeV with decay widths ranging from negligibly small up to 30% of the T quark mass. Reconstruction strategies for the top quark are based on the degree of Lorentz boosting of its final state. At 95% confidence level, the upper limit on the product of the cross section and branching fraction for a T quark of small decay width varies between 15 and 602 fb, depending on its mass. For a T quark with decay widths between 10 and 30% of its mass, this upper limit ranges between 16 and 836 fb. For most of the studied range, the results provide the best limits to date. This is the first search for single T quark production based on the full Run 2 data set of the LHC.
