Tau Custodian searches at the LHC

چکیده
Abstract The tau lepton can be more composite than naively expected in models of strong electroweak symmetry breaking with tri-bimaximal lepton mixing. New leptonic resonances required by custodial symmetry, the tau custodians, can then be the first signal of this lepton flavor realization. Tau custodians can be very light, decaying almost exclusively into taus. The LHC reach for these new leptons is up to masses of 240, 480 and 720 GeV for √ s = 14 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 30, 300 and 3000 fb−1, respectively. Our analysis can be extended to any pair produced particles decaying mostly into taus and Standard Model bosons.

Tau leptons as a probe for new physics at LHC
The τ leptons identification with ATLAS experiment will be possible already at the start of the data taking. The copious production of W and Z bosons decaying to the tau leptons will provide unique possibility to calibrate and understand identification of hadronically decaying tau’s above the QCD background already with few hundreds of pb. With integrated luminosity of tens of fb, tau leptons w...
متن کاملSearch for Supersymmetry and kinematic endpoint measurement in final states with two tau leptons with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
Discovery prospects for Supersymmetry in final states with at least two tau leptons and large missing transverse energy are evaluated for LHC proton-proton collisions measured with the ATLAS detector. In a first study based on Monte Carlo simulation, a Supersymmetry signal selection is developed for fully hadronic, semileptonic and fully leptonic di-tau decays in events produced in proton-proto...
متن کاملSearch for Tau Flavour Violation at the LHC
We explore the prospects for searches at the LHC for sparticle decays that violate τ lepton number, in the light of neutrino oscillation data and the seesaw model for neutrino masses and mixing. We analyse the theoretical and phenomenological conditions required for tau flavour violation to be observable in χ2 → χ + τμ decays, for cosmologically interesting values of the relic neutralino LSP de...
متن کاملThe Search for Heavy Majorana Neutrinos
The Majorana nature of neutrinos can be experimentally verified only via lepton-number violating processes involving charged leptons. We study 36 lepton-number violating (LV ) processes from the decays of tau leptons and pseudoscalar mesons. These decays are absent in the Standard Model but, in presence of Majorana neutrinos in the mass range ∼ 100 MeV to 5 GeV, the rates for these processes wo...
متن کاملUsing Tau Polarization for Charged Higgs Boson and SUSY searches at LHC
The τ polarization can be easily measured at LHC in the 1-prong hadronic τ decay channel by measuring what fraction of the τ -jet momentum is carried by the charged track. A simple cut requiring this fraction to be >0.8 retains most of the Pτ =+1 τ -jet signal while suppressing the Pτ =-1 τ -jet background and practically eliminating the fake τ background. This can be utilized to extract the ch...
