The simple “straw-man” model of low-scale technicolor contains light color-singlet technihadrons, which mix with the electroweak gauge bosons. We present lepton collider production rates at the parton level, and show that experiments at LEP2 may be sensitive to the presence of technirho and techniomega states with masses 10–20 GeV beyond the center-of-mass energy because of the mixing. The exact sensitivity depends on several parameters, such as the technipion mass, the technipion mixing angle, and the charge of the technifermions. In an appendix, we describe the implementation of the model into the event generator PYTHIA for particle-level studies at lepton and hadron colliders.  相似文献

We present a general solution to the long-standing problem of determining the masses of pair-produced, semi-invisibly decaying particles at hadron colliders. We define two new transverse kinematic variables M(CT)(⊥) and M(CT)(∥), which are suitable one-dimensional projections of the contransverse mass M(CT). We derive analytical formulas for the boundaries of the kinematically allowed regions in the (M(CT)(⊥),M(CT)(∥)) and (M(CT)(⊥),M(CT)) parameter planes and introduce suitable variables D(CT)(∥) and D(CT) to measure the distance to those boundaries on an event per event basis. We show that the masses can be reliably extracted from the end-point measurements of M(CT)(⊥)(max) and D(CT)(min) (or D(CT)(∥)(min)). We illustrate our method with dilepton tt events at the LHC.  相似文献

One challenge in particle physics is that not all the momenta relevant to many processes are observable. Some particles are nearly invisible (neutrinos and hypothetical neutralinos), others escape undetected down the beam pipes of colliders. One faces the task of extracting the maximum information (e.g. on the mass of the unobserved particles) from a set of more unknowns than constraining energy?Cmomentum conservation equations. We study the simplest realistic case of current interest: single-W production at a hadron collider, followed by its leptonic decay. We derive and discuss the statistically-optimal ??singularity variable?? relevant to the measurement of the W mass. In spite of its simplicity, this process is fairly non-trivial and constitutes a good ??training?? example for the scrutiny of phenomena involving invisible objects. Our graphical analysis of the phase space is akin to that of a Dalitz plot, extended to such processes.  相似文献

We calculate direct gaugino pair production at hadron colliders at next-to-leading order of perturbative QCD, resumming simultaneously large logarithms in the small transverse-momentum and threshold regions to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. Numerical predictions are presented for transverse momentum and invariant mass spectra as well as for total cross sections and compared to results obtained at fixed order and with pure transverse-momentum and threshold resummation. We find that our new results are in general in good agreement with the previous ones, but often even more precise.  相似文献

In the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, CP-even Higgs bosons can have masses in the range of 80–110 GeV in agreement with constraints from LEP due to their sizeable singlet component. Nevertheless their branching ratio into two photons can be more than 10 times larger than the one of a Standard Model Higgs boson of similar mass due to a reduced coupling to b quarks. This can lead to a spectacular enhancement of the Higgs signal rate in the di-photon channel at hadron colliders by a factor 6. Corresponding scenarios can occur in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model for a relatively low Susy breaking scale.  相似文献

The dual parton model (DPM) describes soft and semihard multiparticle production. The presented version of the DPM includes soft and hard mechanisms as well as diffractive processes. The model is formulated as a Monte-Carlo event generator. We calculate, in the energy range of the hadron colliders, particle ratios as function of the transverse momentum, the rise of the average transverse momenta with the charged multiplicity, forward-backward correlations, short range correlations and factorial moments as function of the size of the pseudorapidity bins. For most of these quantities we find a reasonable agreement with experimental data.  相似文献

We study pair production of Higgs bosons at hadron colliders via the gluon fusion process gg → HH. This process is dependent on the three-Higgs self-coupling. We find that this coupling is an important effect in determining the absolute size of the cross section. However, the shapes of the transverse momentum and the rapidity distributions are almost unaffected by its presence. At SSC energies we find cross sections in the range 1pb − 1fb, for Higgs boson masses of 50–250 GeV and top masses larger than 40 GeV. At LHC energies the cross sections are about a factor of five smaller.  相似文献

The search at the Tevatron collider of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs or cosmions) corresponding to a class of models proposed by Gelmini, Hall and Lin to solve the solar neutrino problem is considered. These models predict the existence of a scalar coloured triplet with a mass around 100 GeV, giving rise to jet events with large missing transverse momentum at hadron colliders. We find that the expected signal is well above the standard model background, so that Fermilab experiments are able to support or neatly rule out these models.  相似文献

Rather than regarding the restriction of current lattice QCD simulations to quark masses that are 5–10 times larger than those observed as a problem, we note that this presents a wonderful opportunity to deepen our understanding of QCD. Just as it has been possible to learn a great deal about QCD by treating N c as a variable, so the study of hadron properties as a function of quark mass is leading us to a deeper appreciation of hadron structure. As examples we cite progress in using the chiral properties of QCD to connect hadron masses, magnetic moments, charge radii and structure functions calculated at large quark masses within lattice QCD with the values observed physically.  相似文献

Many extensions of the Standard Model includeSU(2) L ×U(1) Y singlet higgs bosons,h 0, and also vector-like fermions which couple to it. The production and detection possibilities of such singlet neutral scalars at hadron colliders are considered for different scenarios of vectorlike fermions. We find that for some values of masses and couplings, detection at the CERN large hadron collider (LHC) appears to be a distinct possibility, while at the Fermilab Tevatron upgrade theh 0 might be observed only in very favourable circumstances.  相似文献

We discuss the tests of general Triple Gauge Boson Vertices (TGV) through bosonic pair production at present and future hadron colliders. All bosonic final states are reviewed via the tree level quark-antiquark annihilation sub-processes. The full analytic expressions of the helicity amplitudes and cross-sections are given. These expressions should be useful in any attempt to disentangle the effects of the most general non standard WWV(V = γ,Z) vertices including 14 free parameters. We investigate the sensitivity of the invariant mass and transverse momentum distributions to the full set of anomalous couplings including final state polarization structures. We particularly consider these features at the projected CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energy scale.  相似文献

Both electroweak precision measurements and simple supersymmetric extensions of the standard model prefer a mass of the Higgs boson less than the experimental lower limit (on a standard-model-like Higgs boson) of 114 GeV. We show that supersymmetric models with R parity violation and baryon-number violation have a significant range of parameter space in which the Higgs boson dominantly decays to six jets. These decays are much more weakly constrained by current CERN LEP analyses and would allow for a Higgs boson mass near that of the Z. In general, lighter scalar quark and other superpartner masses are allowed. The Higgs boson would potentially be discovered at hadron colliders via the appearance of new displaced vertices.  相似文献

Strong interaction processes were intensively studied at low energy with exotic atoms, touching one of the fundamental problems in hadron physic today — the still unsolved question of how hadron masses are generated. The question of the origin of the large hadron masses made up of light quarks, the current mass of the up (u) and down (d) quarks (mu,d≈5 MeV) is two orders of magnitude smaller than a typical hadron mass of about 1 GeV, will be discussed in the context with the experimental work done in the field of exotic atoms expanded to exotic nuclei.An overview of the properties of exotic hydrogen atoms made of pions and kaons are presented, using high precision experiments unrevealing the nature of strong interaction physics at low energy. A new field which contributes to the understanding of the origin of the large hadron mass is the study of the mass modification in a nuclear medium. Antikaon mediated bound nuclear systems would be an ideal tool, if they exist, to look for chiral restoration at high density and zero temperature or even more exotic to look for phase transitions.  相似文献

We implement matrix-element corrections to HERWIG parton shower simulations for Standard Model Higgs boson production at hadron colliders. We study the Higgs transverse momentum distribution and compare different versions of HERWIG and resummed calculations. The HERWIG results exhibit a remarkable improvement as many more events are generated at large transverse momentum after the inclusion of matrix-element corrections.  相似文献

We present a new method for resolving combinatorial ambiguities that arise in multi-particle decay chains at hadron colliders where the assignment of visible particles to the different decay chains has ambiguities. Our method, based on selection cuts favoring high transverse momentum and low invariant mass pairings, is shown to be significantly superior to the more traditional hemisphere method for a large class of decay chains, producing an increase in signal retention of up to a factor of 2. This new method can thus greatly reduce the combinatorial ambiguities of decay chain assignments.  相似文献

In this review we do not try to cover all the aspects of physics besnd tile standard model (BSM), instead our latest understanding on tile BSM will be presented: i) Tile Higgs sector is likely related to BSM, which can be confirmed at current running large hadron collider (LHC) or tile fllture eolliders. Furthermore we pointed out that spontaneous CP violation can be closely related to the lightness of the Higgs boson, ii) Top quark forward-backward asymmetry, which was mea.sured by Tewttron, might be the sign of BSM.2; proposed a new color-octet particle Zcr to account fi)r the observation and Z can be fllrther studied at the LHC. iii) If dark matter (DM) is utilized to accommodate astrophysical obserwtions, it ought to be observed at the high energy LttC and DM produced at colliders should be tile slnoking gun signal, iv) Lithium puzzle might also be the sign of the BSM. We briefly review tile newly proposed solution to Lithium puzzle, i.e.. the existonce of non-thermal component during the big bang nuclei-synthesis (BBN). The possible origins of the non-thermal coinponent can be dark matter or the new accelerating mechanism of normal particles.  相似文献

We calculate Higgs-boson pair production from gluon fusion at future hadron colliders. We find that the box diagram is appreciably larger then the triangle diagram for Higgs-boson masses which are experimentally accessible. This obscures the observation of the three-Higgs-boson vertex, which is present in the latter diagram.  相似文献

The search for the Higgs boson was one of the most relevant issues of the final years of LEP running at high energies. An excess of 3σ beyond the background expectation has been found, consistent with the production of the Higgs boson with a mass near 115 GeV/c2. At the upgraded TeVatron and at LHC the search for the Higgs boson will continue. At TeVatron Higgs bosons can be detected with masses up to 180 GeV with an assumed total integrated luminosity of 20 fb—1. LHC has the potential to discover the Higgs boson in many different decay channels for Higgs masses up to 1 TeV. It will be possible to measure Higgs boson parameters, such as mass, width, and couplings to fermions and bosons. The results from Higgs searches at LEP2 and the possibilities for searches at hadron colliders will be reviewed.  相似文献

In split supersymmetry, gauginos and Higgsinos are the only supersymmetric particles that are potentially accessible at soon-to-be-completed colliders. While direct experimental research, such as the LEP and Tevatron experiments, have given robust lower bounds on the masses of these particles, cosmic dark matter can give some upper bounds and thus have important implications for research at future colliders. In this work we scrutinize such dark matter constraints and show the allowed mass range for charginos and neutralinos (the mass eigenstates of gauginos and Higgsinos). We find that the lightest chargino must be lighter than about 1 TeV under the popular assumption M1=M2/2 and about 2 or 3 TeV in other cases. The corresponding production rates of the lightest chargino at the CERN large hadron collider (LHC) and the International Linear Collider (ILC) are also given. While in some parts of the allowed region the chargino pair production rate can be larger than 1 pb at the LHC and 100 fb at the ILC, other parts of the region correspond to very small production rates, and thus there is no guarantee of finding the charginos of split supersymmetry at future colliders.

In many extensions of the SM, neutral massive stable particles (dark matter candidates) are produced at colliders in pairs due to an exact symmetry called a “parity”. These particles escape detection, rendering their mass measurement difficult. In the pair production of such particles via a specific (“antler”) decay topology, kinematic cusp structures are present in the invariant mass and angular distributions of the observable particles. Together with the end-points, such cusps can be used to measure the missing particle mass and the intermediate particle mass in the decay chain. Our simulation of a benchmark scenario in a ZZ supersymmetric model shows that the cusp feature survives under the consideration of detector simulation and the standard model backgrounds. This technique for determining missing particle masses should be invaluable in the search for new physics at the LHC and future lepton colliders.  相似文献
