摘要
本文利用CERN大型强子对撞机(LHC)在$\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV,对应138 fb $^{-1}$下的质子-质子碰撞实验数据,研究了两个带电轻子和多个射流在最终态产生顶夸克对($\text{t}\bar{\text{t}}$)的共振。分析探讨了\ttbar系统的不变质量和两个角度观测值,这些观测值提供了直接访问顶夸克和反夸克自旋相关性的途径。与固定阶摄动量子色动力学(pQCD)预测的非共振产生相比,在运动学$\text{t}\bar{\text{t}}$阈值附近观察到显著的过量事件。观测到的增强与非相对论量子色动力学预测的色单重态伪标量($^1$ S $^{[1]}_0$)准束缚toponium态的产生一致。利用$^1$ S $^{[1]}_0$ toponium的简化模型,测得高于pQCD预测的过量截面为8.8 $^{+1.2}_{-1.4}$ pb。
Observation of a pseudoscalar excess at the top quark pair production threshold.
A search for resonances in top quark pair (tt-) production in final states with two charged leptons and multiple jets is presented, based on proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC ats=13TeV, corresponding to 138 fb-1. The analysis explores the invariant mass of thett-system and two angular observables that provide direct access to the correlation of top quark and antiquark spins. A significant excess of events is observed near the kinematictt-threshold compared to the non-resonant production predicted by fixed-order perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD). The observed enhancement is consistent with the production of a color-singlet pseudoscalar (1S0[1]) quasi-bound toponium state, as predicted by non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics. Using a simplified model for1S0[1]toponium, the cross section of the excess above the pQCD prediction is measured to be8.8-1.4+1.2pb.
