New Physics Searches with ATLAS Alaettin Serhan Metea 1 On behalf of the ATLAS Collaboration Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697

Abstract. Highlights from new physics searches with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are presented. Results are based on the analysis of data collected in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1-5 fb−1 . No excess beyond the Standard Model expectations is observed.

1 Introduction The high energy collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provide new opportunities to search for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of strong and electroweak interactions. This document highlights some of the searches performed using 7 TeV pp collision data collected with the ATLAS detector [1] during 2011 and corresponding to total integrated luminosities that vary from 1 to 5 fb−1 .

2 Search for high-mass di-lepton resonances Existence of heavy neutral gauge bosons, commonly denoted as Z  , are predicted by many extensions to the SM [2–4]. In general, these hypothetical particles are most easily searched for in the leptonic decay channels due to relatively low and well understood SM background. The ATLAS search [5] summarized below is performed in the muon and electron channels. Results are also combined to further extend the reach. In the electron channel events are sampled using a di-electron trigger that requires at least two electromagnetic clusters in the calorimeter, each with a transverse energy (ET ) of at least 20 GeV. Sampled events are further required to have two electron candidates with ET > 25 GeV and |η| < 2.47; the transition region between the barrel and endcap calorimeters, namely 1.37 ≤ |η| ≤ 1.52, is excluded. Only the so-called medium electrons [6] that pass a set of stringent quality cuts are considered. To suppress background from photon conversions both electrons are required to have a hit in the first active pixel layer, whereas only thehigher ET electron is required to be isolated by   requiring ET (ΔR < 0.2) < 7 GeV, where ΔR = (Δφ)2 + (Δη)2 and ET (ΔR < 0.2) is the sum of the transverse energy deposition in the calorimeter around the electron direction, to suppress the QCD multi-jet background while maintaining a high signal selection efficiency. In the muon channel events are sampled using a single muon trigger that requires the presence of a muon with a transverse momentum (pT ) of at least 22 GeV. Sampled events are further required to a e-mail: [email protected]

have two muon candidates with opposite charge and pT > 25 GeV. Those muons that are considered in this analysis are reconstructed independently both in the inner detector (ID) and the muon spectrometer (MS). To ensure a good momentum resolution, muons are required to pass a set of stringent quality cuts in these respective detectors. To suppress background from cosmic rays, the z position of the primary vertex is required to be within 200 mm of the center of the detector and the muon tracks are required to have a transverse impact parameter |d0 | < 0.2 mm as well as |z0 | < 1 mm. To reduce background from jets, each muon is also required to be isolated such that the pT sum of other tracks with pT > 1 GeV around the direction of the muon, within a cone of ΔR = 0.3, is less than 5% of the pT of the muon. In both channels, those events that pass the afore mentioned selection criteria are kept for the final analysis. For each event the invariant mass of the di-lepton system (m ) is constructed and an excess above the total background is searched for in the region m > 70 GeV. The m distributions in both the electron and the muon channels are shown in Figure 1 for both data and the total expected background including the systematic uncertainties. The dominant contribution to the total background comes from the high mass tail of the SM Z/γ∗ production. No excess above the SM expectation is observed in either channel. Therefore, limits are set in production cross section times branching ratio, σB, as a function of the hypothesis mass, mZ  . To fully exploit the search potential, results from each channel are statistically combined and the final result is shown in Figure 2. A sequential SM Z  is excluded at 95% CL for masses up to 2.21 TeV. Limits are also set for other beyond SM signatures. More information can be found in [5]. ATLAS Preliminary

transverse momenta that gives an invaluable opportunity to test the SM and look for new physics [7, 8]. The ATLAS detector is used to search for new phenomena in di-jet mass and angular distributions [9]. Here the emphasis will be given to the search for excited quarks, q∗ , in the di-jet mass spectrum of this comprehensive analysis. A single jet trigger that requires a large transverse energy deposition in the calorimeter is used for this analysis. Events are required to pass an extensive set of selection criteria to ensure high quality and have at least two high pT jets. Both the leading (i.e. highest pT - denoted by subscript 1 from now on) and next-to-leading (denoted by subscript 2) jets are required to have in-time energy depositions to ensure their association with the pp collision. In addition, among all the selected jets, there must be no poorly measured one with pT greater than 30% of the pT of the next-to-leading jet. In order to obtain a sample enriched in the hard scattering part of the phase space, the events must further satisfy |y∗ = ± 12 (y1 − y2 )| < 0.6 and |y1,2 | < 2.8. Here y∗ are the rapidities of the two highest pT jets in their   z CM frame and y1,2 are their rapidities in the pp system with rapidity defined as y = 12 ln E+p E−pz where E is the energy of the particle and pz is its momentum along the beam axis. Those events that pass the afore mentioned selection criteria are kept for the final analysis. For each event the invariant mass of the di-jet system (m j j ) is constructed using the two highest pT jets and an excess above the background is searched for in the region m j j > 850 GeV. The total background is obtained directly from the data where a fit to the m j j distribution is performed in a control region, which is then extrapolated to the signal region accounting for the systematic uncertainties that arise due to this procedure. The resulting m j j spectrum is shown in Figure 3. As can be seen, no excess above the background is observed. Therefore, limits are set on cross section times acceptance, σ × A, as a function of particle mass m j j , which is also shown on Figure 3. With these results, excited quarks are excluded at 95% CL for masses up to 3.35 TeV1 .

4 Search for resonant WZ production Existence of heavy charged gauge bosons, commonly denoted as W  , are predicted by many extensions to the SM [1, 1, 1]. The ATLAS search [1] for such a particle decaying to WZ → ν  (,  = e, μ) final states is summarized in this section with the emphasis given to the Extended Gauge Model (EGM) W  of [1]. In this analysis four decay channels eνee, eνμμ, μνee and μνμμ are analyzed separately and then combined. Events are sampled with single electron or muon triggers with thresholds of ET > 20 GeV and pT > 18 GeV, respectively. Electrons are required have ET > 25 GeV and |η| < 2.47 excluding the transition region between the barrel and endcap calorimeters that was defined earlier. As in the high-mass di-lepton resonances analysis, only electrons that satisfy the requirements of the medium criteria are considered. To ensure electrons are originating from the primary vertex of the event, impact parameter cuts are also applied: |d0 | < 10σd0 and |z0 | < 10 mm. To select the prompt electrons from W/Z decays, an isolation cut is also applied by requiring the sum of the ET of the clusters around the electron within a cone of ΔR = 0.3 to be less then 4 GeV. Muons are required to have pT > 25 GeV and |η| < 2.4 with tracks reconstructed both in the ID and the MS independently and pass a set of quality cuts in the respective sub-detectors to ensure a good quality. To suppress the multi-jet background, muons are required to be isolated such that the pT sum of other tracks with pT > 1 GeV around the direction of the muon, within a cone of ΔR = 0.2, 1 At the time of writing this document, a more recent study is released by the ATLAS Collaboration that uses pp collisions √ at a center-of-mass energy s = 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.8 fb−1 that further extends the limit on excited quarks up to 3.66 TeV [1].

is less than 10% of the pT of the muon. In conjuction to the electrons, muons are also required to be compatible with the primary vertex by requiring |d0 | < 10σd0 and |z0 | < 10 mm. Based on the object selection described above, events that have an opposite charge same flavor lepton pair with an invariant mass within 20 GeV of the Z boson mass, a third lepton and a missing transverse energy of  at least 25 GeV are kept. The transverse mass of the reconstructed W boson, defined as mW T =

2pT ETmiss (1 − cosΔφ) where pT is the transverse momentum of the third lepton

on the transverse plane, is constructed and Δφ is the opening angle between this lepton and E miss T and required to be greater than 15 GeV to suppress multi-jet background. Events satisfying all these selection criteria  are kept for the final analysis. For these events, the transverse mass of the WZ

The E miss vector is used as the estimator of the transverse momentum T of the neutrino arising from the W boson decay. The resulting distribution for the combination of all channels is shown in Figure 4. No excess above the SM expectation is observed; hence limits are set on the production cross section times branching ratio, σ × B, as a function of W  mass. The limit plot is also shown in the same figure. As a result, an EGM W  is excluded at 95% CL for masses up to 760 GeV.

5 Search for heavy neutrinos and WR bosons Another important new physics signature that can be probed at the LHC energies is the production of heavy neutrinos. The ATLAS search [1] concentrates on two main production mechanisms: Lagrangian of effective operators [1] and Left-Right Symmetric Models (LRSM) [1, 1, 1]. This document is focused on the latter, within which the electroweak part of the SM is extended by a new gauge group giving rise to new force carriers; right-handed charged heavy gauge bosons, WR , and neutral heavy gauge boson, Z  . The decay chain that is considered in this search is: qq¯ → WR → N, where the heavy neutrino (either Majorana or Dirac type), N, decays via N → WR∗ →  j j, resulting in 00050-p.5

a final state with two prompt leptons (either electron or muon), and two jets. Both the scenarios of no-mixing and maximal mixing between two generations of lepton flavors are investigated assuming that the mass difference between the heavy neutrinos is negligible. The object and event selection is as follows. Electrons are required to pass the medium criteria, have ET > 25 GeV and |η| < 2.47 excluding the transition region between the barrel and endcap calorimeters. They are required to have a hit in the first active pixel layer, if expected, to suppress background from photon conversions. To suppress  non-prompt background, each electron is required to be isolated such that the ET (ΔR < 0.3) is less than 15% of the ET of the electron. Additionally, an electron whose track matches the ID track of a muon candidate is rejected. Muons are required to have pT > 25 GeV and |η| < 2.4 with tracks reconstructed both in the ID and the MS independently and pass a set of quality cuts in the respective sub-detectors to ensure a good quality. To suppress non-prompt background, each muon is also required to be isolated as the electrons, using a slightly more sophisticated logic that is powerful in rejecting background muons and highly efficient for selecting signal muons produced in the decays of heavy neutrinos and reconstructed near the signal jets in cases where the heavy neutrino is boosted. Muons are also required to be compatible with the primary vertex by requiring |d0 | < 0.2 mm, |d0 | < 5σd0 and |z0 | < 5 mm. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-kt algorithm [2, 2] with a radius parameter of R = 0.4. Only those that have pT > 20 GeV and |η| < 2.8 are considered. Jets that are closer to an electron than ΔR = 0.5 are not used to avoid possible double counting. To enrich the sample with jets originating from the hard scattering, at least 75% of the summed pT of all reconstructed tracks associated with a jet with |η| < 2.8 is required to come from tracks originating from the selected primary vertex. Additional quality cuts to suppress possible detector background are also applied as explained in [1]. According to the object selection defined above, events are preselected by requiring exactly two leptons (either an electron or a muon) and at least one jet. To suppress the SM Z/γ∗ production, the invariant mass of the di-lepton system, m , is required to be greater than 110 GeV. Events are then grouped into two signal regions as: Same Sign (SS) and Opposite Sign (OS) di-lepton events. To further suppress the background in the OS di-lepton channel, the scalar sum of the transverse energies of the two leptons and the leading two jets with pT > 20 GeV, denoted by S T , is required to be greater than 400 GeV. The mass of the heavy neutrino, N, can be reconstructed from its decay products of one lepton and two jets. In those cases where N has a large momentum, i.e. is boosted, the hadronic decay products can be reconstructed as a single jet due to their proximity to each other, which accounts for up to 50% of the signal events where the mass splitting between WR and N is large. Therefore, the invariant mass of the WR boson, mll j( j) , is reconstructed from the leptons and the two highest pT jets in events with at least two jets, or a single jet in events with only one jet. This variable is required to be greater than 400 GeV, and is used as the final discriminant to search for new physics in the LRSM. The final mll j( j) distributions for the data, the total predicted background and two selected hypothetical signal points are shown in Figure 5 for both the OS and SS signal regions. The uncertainties on the total background predictions are also shown in both cases. The most dominant background in the OS signal region is the SM Z+jets production, whereas in the SS signal region is the so-called “fake lepton(s)”, which arises from SM W+jets, tt¯, and multi-jet production where one or more jets are misidentified as prompt isolated leptons and estimated using a “data-driven” method. The Dirac type heavy neutrinos are only searched for in the events with OS di-lepton pairs as their signature don’t allow production of same sign lepton pairs. However, the Majorana type heavy neutrinos are searched for in both signal regions. No excess above the SM expectation is observed in either signal region. Figure 6 shows the exclusion limits for the masses of heavy neutrinos and the WR boson in the LRSM interpretation, both for the no-mixing and maximal-mixing scenarios between Ne

and Nμ neutrinos, for both the Majorana and Dirac heavy neutrinos hypotheses. For both no-mixing and maximal-mixing scenarios, WR bosons with masses up to ≈ 1.8 TeV (≈ 2.3 TeV) are excluded for mass differences between the WR and N masses larger than 0.3 TeV (0.9 TeV).

collected in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV corresponding to varying integrated luminosities between 1-5 fb−1 depending on the particular study. No excess beyond the Standard Model expectations is observed in any of the analysis. Hence, limits are set on various observables. These limits include, but not limited to, mZ  up to 2.21 TeV and mq∗ up to 3.35 TeV at 95% CL. Figure 7 summarizes the mass reach of a representative selection of ATLAS searches for new phenomena other than SUSY. Data corresponding to approximately 30 fb−1 of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV are planned to be collected during the full 2012 data taking period. This new data will be even more fruitful for testing the SM and searching for new physics.
