在$\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV上寻找$pp$碰撞中衰变为ATLAS量热计中位移强子喷流的中性长寿命粒子

Search for neutral long-lived particles in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV that decay into displaced hadronic jets in the ATLAS calorimeter

ATLAS Collaboration

摘要:

使用2015-2018年在LHC的ATLAS探测器收集的139 fb $^{-1}$质子-质子碰撞数据,以13 TeV的质心能量搜索成对产生的中性长寿命粒子(LLP)的衰变。在ATLAS强子量能器中,发展了重建由强子衰变的LLP产生的位移喷流的专用技术。两个搜索区域被定义为不同的LLP运动制度。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SM希格斯玻色子,对于$c$乘以LLP平均固有寿命在20 mm和10 m之间的值(取决于模型),在95%置信水平下排除10%以上的分支比。对于质量为60 GeV的纯量以及质量在200 GeV和1 TeV之间的纯量,还对横截面乘以分支比设定了上限。

英文摘要:

A search for decays of pair-produced neutral long-lived particles (LLPs) is presented using 139 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2015-2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Dedicated techniques were developed for the reconstruction of displaced jets produced by LLPs decaying hadronically in the ATLAS hadronic calorimeter. Two search regions are defined for different LLP kinematic regimes. The observed numbers of events are consistent with the expected background, and limits for several benchmark signals are determined. For a SM Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV, branching ratios above 10% are excluded at 95% confidence level for values of $c$ times LLP mean proper lifetime in the range between 20 mm and 10 m depending on the model. Upper limits are also set on the cross-section times branching ratio for scalars with a mass of 60 GeV and for masses between 200 GeV and 1 TeV.
