چکیده

In this Letter we report on a search for long-lived particles that decay into final states with two electrons or photons. Such long-lived particles arise in a variety of theoretical models, such as hidden valleys and supersymmetry with gauge-mediated breaking. By precisely reconstructing the direction of the electromagnetic shower we are able to probe much longer lifetimes than previously explored. We see no evidence of the existence of such long-lived particles and interpret this search as a quasi model-independent limit on their production cross section, as well as a limit on a long-lived fourth generation quark.

Searches for Long-lived Particles at the Tevatron Collider

Several searches for long-lived particles have been performed using data from pp̄ collisions from Run II at the Tevatron. In most cases, new analysis techniques have been developed to carry out each search and/or estimate the backgrounds. These searches expand the discovery potential of the CDF and D0 experiments to new physics that may have been missed by traditional search techniques. This rev...

Search for nonpointing and delayed photons in the diphoton and missing transverse momentum final state in 8 TeV pp collisions at the LHC using the ATLAS detector

A search has been performed, using the full 20.3 fb−1 data sample of 8 TeV proton-proton collisions collected in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, for photons originating from a displaced vertex due to the decay of a neutral long-lived particle into a photon and an invisible particle. The analysis investigates the diphoton plus missing transverse momentum final state, and is therefore mo...

Searches for New Physics at the Tevatron

Recent results of searches for new phenomena using data collected in Run I by the CDF and D0 experiments are presented. D0 set limits for top squarks decaying into blν̃ significantly beyond the reach of previous analyses in this channel (mt̃>140 GeV at 95% C.L. for mν̃ =45 GeV). CDF exclude top squarks decaying into bτ for masses below 111 GeV. In addition, D0 have analyzed photon and electron pai...

A search for charged massive long - lived particles at D 0

Results are presented on a search for charged massive long-lived particles (CMLLPs), based on 5.2 f b 1 of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp col-lider. CMLLPs are predicted by several theories in beyond the standard model scenarios. They behave like muons but are slower and highly ionizing. In the absence of any CMLLP signature we have put limits o...

Experimental considerations motivated by the diphoton excess at the LHC

We consider the immediate or near-term experimental opportunities offered by some scenarios that could explain the new diphoton excess at the LHC. If the excess is due to a new particle Xs at 750 GeV, additional new particles are required, providing further signals. If connected with naturalness, the Xs may be produced in top partner decays. Then a t ′t̄′ signal, with t′ → tXs and Xs → gg domina...

Comment on ‘ Search for new particles decaying into electron pairs of mass below 100 MeV / c

A re-analysis of data from electron-pair production following 160 A·GeV 207 Pb bombardment of nuclear emulsions indicates the production and decay of neutral particles of significantly lower invariant mass and shorter lifetimes than previously claimed (J.
