在$\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV pp碰撞中ATLAS μ子谱仪中寻找长寿命中性粒子衰变为强子喷注的一对位移顶点事件

Search for events with a pair of displaced vertices from long-lived neutral particles decaying into hadronic jets in the ATLAS muon spectrometer in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV

ATLAS Collaboration

摘要:

利用ATLAS探测器在LHC上收集的数据,从长寿命粒子对中搜索两个顶点位移的事件。该分析使用了2015-2018年记录的$\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV质子-质子碰撞数据的139~fb $^{-1}$。搜索采用重建的LLP衰变到射流的μ子光谱仪之间的位移3米和14米的主要相互作用顶点的顶点的技术。观察到的事件数量与预期背景一致,并确定了几个基准信号的限值。对于质量为125 GeV的希格斯玻色子,该论文报告了LLP固有寿命范围从4 cm到72.4 m的第一个排除极限,即分支分数低于0.1%,而分支分数高于10%则被排除在95%的置信水平之外。此外,本文还首次给出了在ATLAS μ子谱仪上进行的LLP衰变为$t\bar{t}$的实验结果。

英文摘要:

A search for events with two displaced vertices from long-lived particles (LLP) pairs using data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. This analysis uses 139~fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV recorded in 2015-2018. The search employs techniques for reconstructing vertices of LLPs decaying to jets in the muon spectrometer displaced between 3 m and 14 m with respect to the primary interaction vertex. The observed numbers of events are consistent with the expected background and limits for several benchmark signals are determined. For the Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV, the paper reports the first exclusion limits for branching fractions into neutral long-lived particles below 0.1%, while branching fractions above 10% are excluded at 95% confidence level for LLP proper lifetimes ranging from 4 cm to 72.4 m. In addition, the paper present the first results for the decay of LLPs into into $t\bar{t}$ in the ATLAS muon spectrometer.
