CMS Collaboration

AI总结:

本研究利用CMS实验138 fb$^{-1}$的13 TeV质子-质子碰撞数据,首次寻找衰变为长寿命轻赝标量玻色子(双光子衰变)和$\tau$轻子的类矢量轻子,未发现显著超出,在95%置信水平下将其质量排除上限推至最高700 GeV。

摘要:

本文首次开展了类矢量轻子(VLLs)衰变产生一个轻质量长寿命赝标量玻色子和一个标准模型$\tau$轻子的寻找研究。假设该赝标量玻色子的质量低于$\tau^+\tau^-$对的产生阈值,因此它仅能衰变为两个光子,研究人员利用CMS缪子系统对其进行识别。本次分析使用的是CMS实验在2016-2018年采集的质心系能量为13 TeV的质子-质子碰撞数据集,对应的积分亮度为138 fb$^{-1}$。筛选出的事例需包含至少一个在缪子系统中发生电磁衰变的赝标量玻色子,以及至少一个强子衰变的$\tau$轻子。与背景预期相比,未观测到显著的数据事例超出。研究在95%置信水平下,设定了类矢量轻子产生截面上限,该上限是VLL质量和赝标量玻色子平均固有衰变长度的函数。根据赝标量玻色子寿命的不同,观测到的和预期的VLL质量排除范围分别最高可达700 GeV和670 GeV。

英文摘要:

A first search is presented for vector-like leptons (VLLs) decaying into a light long-lived pseudoscalar boson and a standard model $τ$ lepton. The pseudoscalar boson is assumed to have a mass below the $τ^+τ^-$ threshold, so that it decays exclusively into two photons. It is identified using the CMS muon system. The analysis is carried out using a data set of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment in 2016-2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. Selected events contain at least one pseudoscalar boson decaying electromagnetically in the muon system and at least one hadronically decaying $τ$ lepton. No significant excess of data events is observed compared to the background expectation. Upper limits are set at 95% confidence level on the vector-like lepton production cross section as a function of the VLL mass and the pseudoscalar boson mean proper decay length. The observed and expected exclusion ranges of the VLL mass extend up to 700 and 670 GeV, respectively, depending on the pseudoscalar boson lifetime.
