Search for long-lived particles decaying into muons in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13.6 TeV using the CMS scouting data sets
Abstract: A search for long-lived particles decaying into muons is performed using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13.6 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2022 and 2023, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 62.4 fb$ ^{-1} $. The data sets used in this search were collected with a dedicated dimuon trigger stream with low transverse momentum thresholds, recorded at high rate by retaining a reduced amount of information, in order to explore otherwise inaccessible phase space at low multimuon mass and nonzero displacement from the primary interaction vertex. No significant excess of events beyond the standard model expectation is found. Upper limits on branching fractions at 95% confidence level are set on a wide range of mass and lifetime hypotheses in beyond the standard model frameworks where the Higgs boson decays into long-lived particles.
