在质子-质子碰撞中寻找希格斯玻色子奇异衰变到两个轻赝标量并最终产生四光子的过程($\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV)

Search for the exotic decay of the Higgs boson into two light pseudoscalars with four photons in the final state in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

CMS Collaboration

AI总结:

本文利用CMS探测器在13 TeV下132 fb$^{-1}$的质子-质子碰撞数据,搜索希格斯玻色子经轻赝标量对衰变到四光子的奇异过程,未发现显著信号,并对产生截面与分支比乘积设定了95%置信水平上限。

摘要:

本文介绍了一项对希格斯玻色子奇异衰变到一对轻赝标量、每个赝标量随后衰变到一对光子的过程的搜索。该搜索使用LHC上CMS探测器记录的质子-质子碰撞数据,质心能量为$\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV,对应积分亮度为132 fb$^{-1}$。该分析探测来自希格斯玻色子衰变的质量在15-62 GeV范围内的赝标量玻色子,最终态包含四个良好隔离的光子。未观察到相对于仅背景假设的显著偏离。对希格斯玻色子产生截面与衰变到四光子的分支比的乘积设定了上限。在95%置信水平下,观测(预期)上限从赝标量玻色子质量为15 GeV时的0.80(1.00)fb到质量为62 GeV时的0.26(0.24)fb。

英文摘要:

A search for the exotic decay of the Higgs boson to a pair of light pseudoscalars, each of which subsequently decays into a pair of photons, is presented. The search uses data from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 132 fb$^{-1}$. The analysis probes pseudoscalar bosons with masses in the range 15-62 GeV, coming from the Higgs boson decay, which leads to four well-isolated photons in the final state. No significant deviation from the background-only hypothesis is observed. Upper limits are set on the product of the Higgs boson production cross section and branching fraction into four photons. The observed (expected) limits range from 0.80 (1.00) fb for a pseudoscalar boson mass of 15 GeV to 0.26 (0.24) fb for a mass of 62 GeV at 95% confidence level.
