AI总结:

本文研究未来轻子对撞机对 $ν$SMEFT 重中微子相互作用的探测能力,通过半轻子和全轻子衰变通道给出 95% 排除极限。

摘要:

中微子振荡和质量的发现,为通过纳入右手中微子来扩展标准模型提供了强有力的动机;右手中微子会产生可能存在于电弱标度的重中微子态。这些态也可能受到新的高标度、弱相互作用物理的影响。将右手中微子纳入有效场论框架——即 $ν$SMEFT——为在当前和即将开展的实验中研究重中微子的唯象学提供了一种系统方法。在本工作中,我们首次给出了在质心系能量为 $\sqrt{s}=0.5~\rm{TeV}$ 的未来轻子对撞机上,针对我们所称的不可知论 $ν$SMEFT 情景可获得的 95% 排除曲线。本研究聚焦于重中微子 $N$ 迅速衰变为轻子和喷注的高质量区域。具体而言,我们分析了过程 $e^+e^- \to νN \to νμ^{-} μ^{+} ν$ 和 $e^+e^- \to νN \to νμ^{-} \mathrm{j} \mathrm{j}$,在 $\fracα{Λ^2}$ 与 $m_N$ 的参数空间中推导排除区域。与 LHeC 的预期极限相比,我们发现,即使采用简单的基于截断的分析,轻子对撞机上带有末态喷注的半轻子过程也能提供最高灵敏度。所得预期界限与近期研究中针对低质量区域所考虑的界限同样严格;在该区域中,$N$ 可能是长寿命的,并可在 LHC 和未来对撞机上通过位移衰变搜寻被探测到。

英文摘要:

The discovery of neutrino oscillations and masses provides strong motivation to extend the Standard Model by including right-handed neutrinos, which lead to heavy neutrino states that could exist at the electroweak scale. These states may also be influenced by new high-scale, weakly interacting physics. Incorporating right-handed neutrinos into an effective field theory framework -- the $ν$SMEFT -- offers a systematic approach to study the phenomenology of heavy neutrinos in current and upcoming experiments. In this work, we present the first prospective 95\% exclusion plots achievable at a future lepton collider operating at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=0.5 ~\rm{TeV}$ for what we term the agnostic $ν$SMEFT scenario. This study focuses on the high-mass regime where the heavy neutrino $N$ decays promptly into leptons and jets. Specifically, we analyze the processes $e^+e^- \to νN \to νμ^{-} μ^{+} ν$ and $e^+e^- \to νN \to νμ^{-} \mathrm{j} \mathrm{j}$, deriving the exclusion regions in the $\fracα{Λ^2}$ vs. $m_N$ parameter space. When compared to prospective limits for the LHeC, we find that the semi-leptonic process with final jets in a lepton collider offers the greatest sensitivity, even with a straightforward cut-based analysis. The expected bounds are as stringent as those considered in recent studies for the low-mass regime where the $N$ may be long-lived and detectable via displaced decay searches, both at the LHC and future colliders.
