search for displaced Leptons in sqrt s 13 tev pp collisions with the atlas detector
Physical Review Letters, 2021Co-Authors: G Aad, B. Abbott, Ossama Abouzeid, Nicola Louise Abraham, S H Abidi, D C Abbott, Abed A Abud, K Abeling, D K Abhayasinghe, H AbramowiczAbstract:A search for charged Leptons with large impact parameters using 139 fb^{-1} of sqrt[s]=13 TeV pp collision data from the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented, addressing a long-standing gap in coverage of possible new physics signatures. Results are consistent with the background prediction. This search provides unique sensitivity to long-lived scalar supersymmetric lepton partners (sLeptons). For lifetimes of 0.1 ns, selectron, smuon, and stau masses up to 720, 680, and 340 GeV, respectively, are excluded at 95% confidence level, drastically improving on the previous best limits from LEP.

search for supersymmetry in events with four or more charged Leptons in 139 fb 1 of sqrt s 13 tev pp collisions with the atlas detector
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021Co-Authors: G Aad, B. Abbott, Ossama Abouzeid, Nicola Louise Abraham, S H Abidi, D C Abbott, Abed A Abud, K Abeling, D K Abhayasinghe, H AbramowiczAbstract:A search for supersymmetry in events with four or more charged Leptons (electrons, muons and $\tau$-Leptons) is presented. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to $139\,\mbox{fb\(^{-1}\)}$ of proton-proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Four-lepton signal regions with up to two hadronically decaying $\tau$-Leptons are designed to target several supersymmetric models, while a general five-lepton signal region targets any new physics phenomena leading to a final state with five charged Leptons. Data yields are consistent with Standard Model expectations and results are used to set upper limits on contributions from processes beyond the Standard Model. Exclusion limits are set at the 95% confidence level in simplified models of general gauge-mediated supersymmetry, excluding higgsino masses up to $540$ GeV. In $R$-parity-violating simplified models with decays of the lightest supersymmetric particle to charged Leptons, lower limits of $1.6$ TeV, $1.2$ TeV, and $2.5$ TeV are placed on wino, slepton and gluino masses, respectively.

European Physical Journal C, 2021Co-Authors: G Aad, B. Abbott, Ossama Abouzeid, Nicola Louise Abraham, S H Abidi, D C Abbott, Abed A Abud, K Abeling, D K Abhayasinghe, H AbramowiczAbstract:A search for the pair production of heavy Leptons as predicted by the type-III seesaw mechanism is presented. The search uses proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to 139fb-1 of integrated luminosity recorded by the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis focuses on the final state with two light Leptons (electrons or muons) of different flavour and charge combinations, with at least two jets and large missing transverse momentum. No significant excess over the Standard Model expectation is observed. The results are translated into exclusion limits on heavy-lepton masses, and the observed lower limit on the mass of the type-III seesaw heavy Leptons is 790 GeV at 95% confidence level. © 2021, CERN for the benefit of the ATLAS collaboration.

test of the universality of tau and mu lepton couplings in w boson decays from t bar t events with the atlas detector
2020Co-Authors: G Aad, A Kupco, K Jakobs, M Spousta, M Cobal, Jay Chan, T Dreyer, Yufeng Wang, Peilong Wang, Stefan SchmittAbstract:The Standard Model of particle physics encapsulates our current best understanding of physics at the smallest scales. A fundamental axiom of this theory is the universality of the couplings of the different generations of Leptons to the electroweak gauge bosons. The measurement of the ratio of the rate of decay of $W$ bosons to $\tau$-Leptons and muons, $R(\tau/\mu) = B(W \to \tau \nu_\tau)/B(W \to \mu \nu_\mu)$, constitutes an important test of this axiom. A measurement of this quantity with a novel technique using di-leptonic $t\bar{t}$ events is presented based on 139 fb${}^{-1}$ of data recorded with the ATLAS detector in proton--proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. Muons originating from $W$ bosons and those originating from an intermediate $\tau$-lepton are distinguished using the lifetime of the $\tau$-lepton, through the muon transverse impact parameter, and differences in the muon transverse momentum spectra. The value of $R(\tau/\mu)$ is found to be $0.992 \pm 0.013 [\pm 0.007 (stat) \pm 0.011 (syst)]$ and is in agreement with the hypothesis of universal lepton couplings as postulated in the Standard Model. This is the most precise measurement of this ratio, and the only such measurement from the Large Hadron Collider, to date.

search for supersymmetry in final states with two oppositely charged same flavor Leptons and missing transverse momentum in proton proton collisions at s 13 tev
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021Co-Authors: A M Sirunyan, A Tumasyan, W Adam, T Bergauer, M Dragicevic, Alberto Escalante Del Valle, Rudolf Fruehwirth, Manfred Jeitler, Natascha Krammer, Lukas LechnerAbstract:A search for phenomena beyond the standard model in final states with two oppositely charged same-flavor Leptons and missing transverse momentum is presented. The search uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} $ = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{−1}$, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Three potential signatures of physics beyond the standard model are explored: an excess of events with a lepton pair, whose invariant mass is consistent with the Z boson mass; a kinematic edge in the invariant mass distribution of the lepton pair; and the nonresonant production of two Leptons. The observed event yields are consistent with those expected from standard model backgrounds. The results of the first search allow the exclusion of gluino masses up to 1870 GeV, as well as chargino (neutralino) masses up to 750 (800) GeV, while those of the searches for the other two signatures allow the exclusion of light-flavor (bottom) squark masses up to 1800 (1600) GeV and slepton masses up to 700 GeV, respectively, at 95% confidence level within certain supersymmetry scenarios.[graphic not available: see fulltext]

search for an excited lepton that decays via a contact interaction to a lepton and two jets in proton proton collisions at s 13 tev
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020Co-Authors: A M Sirunyan, A Tumasyan, W Adam, T Bergauer, J Brandstetter, M Dragicevic, J Ero, Federico Ambrogi, Escalante A Del Valle, Martin FlechlAbstract:Results are presented from a search for events containing an excited lepton (electron or muon) produced in association with an ordinary lepton of the same flavor and decaying to a lepton and two hadronic jets. Both the production and the decay of the excited Leptons are assumed to occur via a contact interaction with a characteristic energy scale Λ. The branching fraction for the decay mode under study increases with the mass of the excited lepton and is the most sensitive channel for very heavy excited Leptons. The analysis uses a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 77.4 fb−1. The four-body invariant mass of the two lepton plus two jet system is used as the primary discriminating variable. No significant excess of events beyond the expectation for standard model processes is observed. Assuming that Λ is equal to the mass of the excited Leptons, excited electrons and muons with masses below 5.6 and 5.7 TeV, respectively, are excluded at 95% confidence level. These are the best limits to date.

search for direct pair production of supersymmetric partners to the τ lepton in proton proton collisions at s 13tev
European Physical Journal C, 2020Co-Authors: A M Sirunyan, A Tumasyan, W Adam, T Bergauer, J Brandstetter, M Dragicevic, J Ero, Federico Ambrogi, Escalante A Del Valle, Martin FlechlAbstract:A search is presented for $\tau$ slepton pairs produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The search is carried out in events containing two $\tau$ Leptons in the final state, on the assumption that each $\tau$ slepton decays primarily to a $\tau$ lepton and a neutralino. Events are considered in which each $\tau$ lepton decays to one or more hadrons and a neutrino, or in which one of the $\tau$ Leptons decays instead to an electron or a muon and two neutrinos. The data, collected with the CMS detector in 2016 and 2017, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 77.2 fb$^{-1}$. The observed data are consistent with the standard model background expectation. The results are used to set 95% confidence level upper limits on the cross section for $\tau$ slepton pair production in various models for $\tau$ slepton masses between 90 and 200 GeV and neutralino masses of 1, 10, and 20 GeV. In the case of purely left-handed $\tau$ slepton production and decay to a $\tau$ lepton and a neutralino with a mass of 1 GeV, the strongest limit is obtained for a $\tau$ slepton mass of 125 GeV at a factor of 1.14 larger than the theoretical cross section.

search for vectorlike Leptons in multilepton final states in proton proton collisions at s 13 tev
Physical Review D, 2019Co-Authors: A M Sirunyan, A Tumasyan, W Adam, T Bergauer, J Brandstetter, M Dragicevic, J Ero, Federico Ambrogi, Escalante A Del Valle, Martin FlechlAbstract:A search for vectorlike Leptons in multilepton final states is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 77.4 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and 2017. Events are categorized by the multiplicity of electrons, muons, and hadronically decaying tau Leptons. The missing transverse momentum and the scalar sum of the lepton transverse momenta are used to distinguish the signal from background. The observed results are consistent with the expectations from the standard model hypothesis. The existence of a vectorlike lepton doublet, coupling to the third-generation standard model Leptons in the mass range of 120-790 GeV, is excluded at 95% confidence level. These are the most stringent limits yet on the production of a vectorlike lepton doublet, coupling to the third-generation standard model Leptons.

search for excited Leptons in llγ final states in proton proton collisions at s 13 tev
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019Co-Authors: A M Sirunyan, A Tumasyan, W Adam, E Asilar, T Bergauer, J Brandstetter, M Dragicevic, J Ero, Federico Ambrogi, Escalante A Del ValleAbstract:A search is presented for excited electrons and muons in llγ final states at the LHC. The search is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{−1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector in 2016. This is the first search for excited Leptons at $ \sqrt{s} $ = 13 TeV. The observation is consistent with the standard model background prediction, and the most stringent exclusion limits to date are set on the excited lepton mass and the compositeness scale, at 95% confidence level. Excited electrons and muons are excluded for masses below 3.9 and 3.8 TeV, respectively, under the assumption that the excited lepton mass equals the compositeness scale. The best observed limit on the compositeness scale is obtained with an excited lepton mass of around 1.0 TeV, excluding values below 25 TeV for both excited electrons and muons.
