We report on a search for charged massive long-lived particles (CMLLPs), based on 5.2 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp collider. We search for events in which one or more particles are reconstructed as muons but have speed and ionization energy loss (dE/dx) inconsistent with muons produced in beam collisions. CMLLPs are predicted in several theories of physics beyond the standard model. We exclude pair-produced long-lived gauginolike charginos below 267 GeV and Higgsino-like charginos below 217 GeV at 95% C.L., as well as long-lived scalar top quarks with mass below 285 GeV. 相似文献

In recent experiments at the GSI, Darmstadt, time-modulated orbital Electron Capture (EC) decays of H-like 140Pr58+, 142Pm60+, and 122I52+ ions with one electron in the K-shell, coasting in the ESR storage ring with velocity β=0.71, were observed. The EC-branches show exponential decay curves time-modulated with period T=7.06(8) s and amplitude a=0.18(3) for 140Pr decays, T=7.10(22) s and a=0.23(4) for 142Pm decays, and T=6.04(6) s and a=0.19(3) for 122I (preliminary) decays in the laboratory frame. The simultaneously measured β+ branch of 142Pm shows no modulation with a<0.03. We discuss here as origin of the modulation quantum beats produced by the superposition of massive neutrino, mass eigenstates emitted in the entangled two body weak decay. From the modulation frequency a value for the difference of the quadratic mass values is deduced, which is 2.9 times larger than the value derived by the KamLAND antineutrino oscillation experiment. The origin of the small modulation amplitudes is discussed as the result of a partial restoration of the interference terms which are expected to cancel for the usual assumed unitarity of the neutrino flavor mixing matrix. 相似文献

Weak isosinglet Neutral Heavy Leptons (v m) have been searched for using data collected by the DELPHI detector corresponding to 3.3 × 106 hadronic Z0 decays at LEP1. Four separate searches have been performed, for short-lived v m production giving monojet or acollinear jet topologies, and for long-lived v m giving detectable secondary vertices or calorimeter clusters. No indication of the existence of these particles has been found, leading to an upper limit for the branching ratio BR(Z0 → v m ?) of about 1.3 × 10?6 at 95% confidence level for v m masses between 3.5 and 50 GeV/c2. Outside this range the limit weakens rapidly with the v m mass. The results are also interpreted in terms of limits for the single production of excited neutrinos. 相似文献

A search has been made for direct production of heavy quarkonium states in more than 3 million hadronic Z 0 decays in the 1991–1994 DELPHI data. Prompt J/ψ, ψ(2S) and Υ candidates have been searched for through their leptonic decay modes using criteria based on the kinematics and decay vertex positions. New upperlimits are set at the 90% confidence level for Br(Z0 → (QQ) X)/Br (Z0 → hadrons) for various strong production mechanisms of J/ψ and Υ these range down to 0.9 × 10?4. The limits are set in the presence of a small excess (~ 1% statistical probability of a background fluctuation) in the sum of candidates from prompt J/ψ, ψ(2S), Υ(1S),Υ(2S) and Υ(3S) relative to the estimated background. 相似文献

A search for lepton flavour number violating Z0 decays in the channels Z 0 → μτ, Z 0 → eτ, Z 0 → eμ, using the DELPHI detector with data collected during the 1991–94 LEP runs, is described. No signal was found. Upper limits at 95% confidence level for the respective branching fractions of 1.2 × 10?5, 2.2 × 10?5, and 0.25 × 10?5, were obtained. 相似文献

The rare meson decays K + → π ??+?′+ and D + → K ??+?′+ (?, ?′ = e, μ), which are induced by Majorana neutrino exchange and which are accompanied by lepton-number nonconservation, are considered. The effects of the meson structure are taken into account on the basis of the Gaussian model for the respective Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes. It is shown that existing direct experimental constraints on the decay branching ratios are overly lenient and therefore give no way to set realistic limits on effective Majorana masses. On the basis of the constraints on the lepton-mixing parameters and neutrino masses from precision measurements of electroweak processes, neutrino-oscillation experiments, searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay of nuclei, and cosmological data, indirect constraints on the branching ratios for the decays in question are obtained and found to be much more stringent than the above direct constraints. 相似文献

A search for neutral Higgs bosons has been performed using the full sample of Z0 decays collected by the OPAL detector at LEP up to 1995. The data were taken at centre-of-mass energies between 88 GeV and 95 GeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of approximately 160 pb?1. The present search addresses the processes Z0→H0Z* and h0Z*, where H0 is the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model and h0 the lightest neutral scalar Higgs boson predicted in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. For the virtual Z0 boson, Z*, the following decay channels are considered: Z*→vv?, e+e? and μ+μ?. Two candidate events have been found in the vv?H0 channel and one in the μ+μ?H0 channel. Combined with earlier searches, the present search excludes the SM Higgs boson, at the 95% confidence level (CL), from the mass range below 59.6 GeV. In the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, allowing a wide range of variation for most relevant model parameters, a 95% CL lower limit of 44.3 GeV is obtained for the mass of the h0 boson. Combined with earlier direct searches for the Higgs boson pair production process Z0→h0A0 and with measurements of the Z0 line shape, a 95% CL lower limit of 23.5 GeV is obtained for the mass of the pseudoscalar Higgs boson A0, assuming tan β≥ 1. 相似文献

Neutrino-less double beta decays (0νββ) are sensitive and realistic probes for studying the Majorana nature of neutrinos (ν), the ν-mass spectrum, the absolute ν-mass scale, the Majorana CP phases and other fundamental properties of neutrinos and weak interactions. Current 0νββ experiments, which use detectors with the mass sensitivity of the order of 300 meV, study the ν-mass in that mass region. Future experiments with higher sensitivities of the orders of 100meV and 30 meV, using different
nuclei and methods (calorimetric, spectroscopic), are indispensable for establishing 0νββ in the quasi degenerate and the inverted hierarchy mass regions. R&D for ultra-high sensitivity detectors are encouraged
for studying the normal hierarchy mass region. Theoretical and experimental studies for evaluating nuclear matrix elements
are important for extracting the sensible ν-mass from the 0νββ rate. Charge exchange reactions by means of nuclear, electromagnetic and ν probes provide valuable data which are used to evaluate the nuclear matrix elenments. International collaborations for 0νββ experiments and for the matrix elements are crucial for next generation 0νββ studies. 相似文献

We report a search for the production of long-lived charged massive particles in a data sample of 90 pb(-1) of square root[s]=1.8 TeV pp collisions recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The search uses the muonlike penetration and anomalously high ionization energy loss signature expected for such a particle to discriminate it from backgrounds. The data are found to agree with background expectations, and cross section limits of O(1) pb are derived using two reference models, a stable quark and a stable scalar lepton. 相似文献

We compute neutral Higgs and Z0-boson couplings to quarks in a model with three quark-lepton families and one mirror family. Mixing between ordinary and mirrorquarks leads to flavour-changing couplings which are negligible for the known quarks. However, t-quark couplings are sizeable and the branching ratio for the decay
can be as large as 10−4. 相似文献

The vertex function for a virtual massive neutrino is calculated in the limit of soft real photons. A method based on employing the neutrino self-energy operator in a weak external electromagnetic field in the approximation linear in the field is developed in order to render this calculation of the vertex function convenient. It is shown that the electric charge and the electric dipole moment of the real neutrino are zero; only the magnetic moment is nonzero for massive neutrinos. A fourth-generation heavy neutrino of mass not less than half of the Z-boson mass is considered as a massive neutrino. 相似文献

We have searched for the decay of ?'s into a monochromatic photon accompanied by other particles as a signal for the reaction ?→γ+Higgs. Two different methods are presented both with null result. While we are not sensitive to the branching ratios predicted by the standard model with a minimal Higgs content, we can put limits on the possible values of the lowest Higgs mass and the ratio of the vacuum expectation values for more complex models. Our results are also of interest with respect to the ξ(2.2) being a Higgs in the context of such models. 相似文献

A search for the relic neutrinos from all past core-collapse supernovae was conducted using 1496 days of data from the Super-Kamiokande detector. This analysis looked for electron-type antineutrinos that had produced a positron with an energy greater than 18 MeV. In the absence of a signal, 90% C.L. upper limits on the total flux were set for several theoretical models; these limits ranged from 20 to 130 macro nu(e) cm(-2) s(-1). Additionally, an upper bound of 1.2 macro nu(e) cm(-2) s(-1) was set for the supernova relic neutrino flux in the energy region E(nu)>19.3 MeV. 相似文献
