ATLAS Collaboration

AI总结:

研究基于ATLAS的140 fb⁻¹质子-质子碰撞数据,通过tt̄双轻子截面并以Z玻色子比值归一化,精确测得R_W^{μ/e}=0.9995,在0.5%精度上验证轻子味普适性。

摘要:

利用LHC上ATLAS探测器在√s=13 TeV下采集的140 fb⁻¹ pp碰撞数据,测量了W玻色子衰变为μ子和电子的分支比之比R_W^{μ/e}=B(W→μν)/B(W→eν),以探测轻子耦合的普适性。该比值由ee、eμ和μμ双轻子末态中t t̄产生截面的测量结果得到。为降低系统不确定性,用在包含性Z→ee和Z→μμ事件中测得的Z玻色子相应比值R_Z^{μμ/ee}的平方根对其进行归一化。通过使用e⁺e⁻对撞机确定的R_Z^{μμ/ee}精确值,R_W^{μ/e}被确定为0.9995 ± 0.0022 ± 0.0036 ± 0.0014。这三项不确定性分别对应数据统计、实验系统误差以及R_Z^{μμ/ee}的外部测量,总不确定性为0.0045,并在0.5%的水平上证实了W玻色子衰变中轻子味普适性的标准模型假设。

英文摘要:

The ratio of branching ratios of the $W$ boson to muons and electrons, $R^{μ/e}_W=B(W\rightarrow μν)/B(W\rightarrow eν)$, has been measured using 140 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, probing the universality of lepton couplings. The ratio is obtained from measurements of the $t\bar{t}$ production cross-section in the $ee$, $eμ$ and $μμ$ dilepton final states. To reduce systematic uncertainties, it is normalised by the square root of the corresponding ratio $R^{μμ/ee}_Z$ for the $Z$ boson measured in inclusive $Z\rightarrow ee$ and $Z\rightarrowμμ$ events. By using the precise value of $R^{μμ/ee}_Z$ determined from $e^+e^-$ colliders, the ratio $R^{μ/e}_W$ is determined to be $R^{μ/e}_W = 0.9995 \pm 0.0022 \pm 0.0036 \pm 0.0014$. The three uncertainties correspond to data statistics, experimental systematics and the external measurement of $R^{μμ/ee}_Z$, giving a total uncertainty of 0.0045, and confirming the Standard Model assumption of lepton flavour universality in $W$-boson decays at the 0.5% level.
