利用ATLAS探测器在质子-质子碰撞中寻找衰变至第三代夸克与第一代或第二代轻子的成对产生标量和矢量轻夸克

Search for pair-produced scalar and vector leptoquarks decaying into third-generation quarks and first- or second-generation leptons in pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

AI总结:

本研究利用LHC Run 2的139 fb⁻¹质子-质子碰撞数据,通过ATLAS探测器搜寻成对产生的多类轻夸克,未发现偏离标准模型的信号,给出了截面上限与质量下限,为解释B物理反常的两类模型设定了质量约束。

摘要:

本文提出了一项针对成对产生、衰变至不同代夸克与轻子的标量和矢量轻夸克的搜寻研究。研究使用了大型强子对撞机(LHC)Run 2(2015-2018年)期间,由ATLAS探测器在质心系能量√s = 13 TeV的质子-质子碰撞中采集的总积分亮度为139 fb⁻¹的完整数据集。研究考虑了电荷为-(1/3)e的标量轻夸克,以及电荷为+(2/3)e的标量和矢量轻夸克。研究探究了成对产生的轻夸克衰变至第三代夸克(顶夸克t、底夸克b)与第一代或第二代带电或中性轻子(电子e、μ子、中微子ν)、且末态恰好包含一个电子或μ子的所有可能衰变模式。实验未观测到与标准模型预期存在显著偏差的结果。研究针对8种模型,给出了产生截面的上限,该上限是轻夸克质量以及轻夸克衰变至带电或中性轻子的分支比的函数。此外,研究还推导了所有模型在一定分支比范围内的轻夸克质量下限。其中有2种模型旨在为近期观测到的B物理反常现象提供解释。在这两种模型中,矢量轻夸克均以相近的分支比衰变至第二代的带电和中性轻子。针对这两种模型,研究分别设定了1980 GeV和1710 GeV的轻夸克质量下限。

英文摘要:

A search for pair-produced scalar and vector leptoquarks decaying into quarks and leptons of different generations is presented. It uses the full LHC Run 2 (2015-2018) data set of 139 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. Scalar leptoquarks with charge -(1/3)e as well as scalar and vector leptoquarks with charge +(2/3)e are considered. All possible decays of the pair-produced leptoquarks into quarks of the third generation (t, b) and charged or neutral leptons of the first or second generation ($e, μ, ν$) with exactly one electron or muon in the final state are investigated. No significant deviations from the Standard Model expectation are observed. Upper limits on the production cross-section are provided for eight models as a function of the leptoquark mass and the branching ratio of the leptoquark into the charged or neutral lepton. In addition, lower limits on the leptoquark masses are derived for all models across a range of branching ratios. Two of these models have the goal of providing an explanation for the recent B-anomalies. In both models, a vector leptoquark decays into charged and neutral leptons of the second generation with a similar branching fraction. Lower limits of 1980 GeV and 1710 GeV are set on the leptoquark mass for these two models.
