| Search for long-lived particles decaying to a pair of muons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV | ||
| CMS Collaboration | ||
| January 2022 | ||
| Abstract: An inclusive search for long-lived exotic particles decaying to a pair of muons is presented. The search uses a data set collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV in 2016 and 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 97.6 fb$^{-1}$. The experimental signature is a pair of oppositely charged muons originating from a common secondary vertex spatially separated from the proton interaction point by distances ranging from several hundred $\mu$m to several meters. The results are interpreted in the frameworks of the Hidden Abelian Higgs model, in which the Higgs boson decays to a pair of long-lived dark photons, and of a simplified model, in which long-lived particles are produced in decays of an exotic heavy neutral scalar boson. | ||

| Summary |
| A data set collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV in 2016 and 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 97.6 fb$^{-1}$ has been used to conduct an inclusive search for long-lived exotic neutral particles (LLPs) decaying to a pair of muons. The search is largely model-independent and is sensitive to a broad range of LLP lifetimes and masses. No excess of events above the standard model prediction is observed. The results are interpreted as upper limits on the parameters of the Hidden Abelian Higgs model, in which the Higgs boson decays to a pair of long-lived dark photons Z$_D$, and of a simplified model, in which LLPs are produced in decays of an exotic heavy neutral scalar boson. The branching fraction of the Higgs boson to dark photons of 1% is excluded at 95% confidence level in the Z$_D$ range between 20 and 60 GeV and for ${c\tau}$ (Z$_D$) from a few tens of $\mu$m to approximately 100 m. The results of this search significantly extend the excluded range of model parameters. They provide the best limits to date for the Hidden Abelian Higgs model with Z$_D$ masses larger than 20 GeV and all ${c\tau}$ (Z$_D$) values except those between about 0.5 and 200 mm, where our search is complemented by the CMS search using data collected with high-rate triggers [35]. At exotic scalar boson masses larger than the Higgs boson mass, our results represent the best current constraints for all considered LLP masses and lifetimes. |
