利用ATLAS探测器搜索衰变为底夸克和τ轻子的第三代轻子夸克对的产生

Search for pair production of third-generation leptoquarks decaying into a bottom quark and a $τ$-lepton with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

AI总结:

利用ATLAS探测器在LHC Run 2的139 fb⁻¹数据中搜索第三代轻子夸克对产生并衰变为b夸克和τ轻子,未发现超出标准模型的信号,对标量和矢量轻子夸克分别给出了1460 GeV和1650 GeV(1910 GeV)的质量排除下限。

摘要:

本文利用ATLAS探测器在质心能量为√s = 13 TeV的质子-质子碰撞中收集的完整LHC Run 2(2015-2018年)数据样本,总积分亮度为139 fb⁻¹,对成对产生的标量或矢量轻子夸克衰变为b夸克和τ轻子的过程进行了搜索。研究中考虑了至少一个τ轻子发生强子衰变的事件,并使用多变量判别器来提取信号。未观察到与标准模型预期有显著偏差,并给出了轻子夸克质量和衰变到τ轻子与b夸克的分支比B的函数形式的95%置信水平产生截面上限。对于标量轻子夸克,假设B=100%时,质量低于1460 GeV被排除;对于矢量轻子夸克,在最小耦合(Yang-Mills)情形下,相应的限制为1650 GeV(1910 GeV)。

英文摘要:

A search for pair-produced scalar or vector leptoquarks decaying into a $b$-quark and a $τ$-lepton is presented using the full LHC Run 2 (2015-2018) data sample of 139 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} =13$ TeV. Events in which at least one $τ$-lepton decays hadronically are considered, and multivariate discriminants are used to extract the signals. No significant deviations from the Standard Model expectation are observed and 95% confidence-level upper limits on the production cross-section are derived as a function of leptoquark mass and branching ratio $B$ into a $τ$-lepton and $b$-quark. For scalar leptoquarks, masses below 1460 GeV are excluded assuming $B=100$%, while for vector leptoquarks the corresponding limit is 1650 GeV (1910 GeV) in the minimal-coupling (Yang-Mills) scenario.
