| A search for pair production of new light bosons decaying into muons at $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV | ||
| CMS Collaboration | ||
| July 2018 | ||
| Abstract: This letter presents a search for new light bosons decaying into muon pairs using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The search is model independent, only requiring the pair production of a new light boson and its subsequent decay to a pair of muons. No significant deviation is observed from the predicted background and a model independent limit is set on the product of the cross section, branching ratio, and acceptance as a function of mass. This limit varies between 0.16 fb and 0.45 fb over a range of new light boson masses from 0.25 GeV to 8.5 GeV. It is then interpreted in the context of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and a dark supersymmetry model that allows for non-negligible light boson lifetimes. | ||

Left: The distribution of the invariant masses $m_{({\mu} {\mu})_1}$ vs. $m_{({\mu} {\mu})_2}$ for the isolated dimuon systems. There are 56 events in the data (bullets) that pass all selection criteria except for the $m_{({\mu} {\mu})_1} \simeq m_{({\mu} {\mu})_2}$ requirement and thus fall outside the diagonal region. The diagonal signal region $m_{({\mu} {\mu})_1} \simeq m_{({\mu} {\mu})_2}$ (outlined with dashed lines) contains the 13 events observed in data (triangles) that pass all selection criteria. The expected SM background distribution is indicated by the color scale.

The limits are compared to a representative predicted rate (solid curve) obtained using a simplified scenario where $\sigma ({\mathrm {p}} {\mathrm {p}}\to \text {h}_1)=\sigma _\mathrm {SM}(m_{\text {h}_1})$ [60], ${\sigma ({\mathrm {p}} {\mathrm {p}}\to \text {h}_2) \times \mathcal {B}(\text {h}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \text {a}_1) = 0}$, $\mathcal {B}(\text {h}_1 \to 2 \text {a}_1) = 0.3%$, and $\mathcal {B}(\text {a}_1 \to 2 {\mu}) = 7.7%$. For the chosen $\mathcal {B}(\text {a}_1 \to 2 {\mu})$, taken from [46], $m_{\text {a}_1} = $ 2 GeV and NMSSM parameter $\tan\beta = 20$.

Additionally, $\mathcal {B}(\text {a}_1 \to 2 {\mu})$ as a function of $m_{\text {a}_1}$ is taken from [46] and assumes that the NMSSM parameter $\tan\beta $ is 20. The simplified scenario includes gg-fusion, VBF, and VH production modes. The structures in the predicted curves arise because $\mathcal {B}(\text {a}_1 \rightarrow gg)$ varies rapidly as $m_{\text {a}_1}$ crosses internal quark loop thresholds [46]. |

| Summary |
| A search for pairs of new light bosons that subsequently decay to pairs of oppositely charged muons is presented in this Letter. This search is developed in the context of a Higgs boson decay, $\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{X}\rightarrow 4\mu+\mathrm{X}$ and is performed on a data sample collected by the CMS experiment in 2016 that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ proton-proton collisions with $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV. This dataset is larger and collected at a higher center-of-mass energy than the previous version of this search [15]. Additionally, both the mass range of the a boson and the maximum possible displacement of its decay vertex are extended compared to the previous publication of this analysis. Thirteen events are observed in the signal region, with 9.90 $\pm$ 1.24 (stat) $\pm$ 1.84 (syst) events expected from the SM backgrounds. The distribution of events in the signal region is consistent with SM expectations. A model independent 95% CL upper limit on the product of the cross section, branching fraction, and acceptance is set over the mass range 0.25 $ < m_{\mathrm{A}} < $ 8.5 GeV. This model independent limit is then interpreted in the context of dark SUSY with non-negligible light boson lifetime and the NMSSM. In the dark SUSY interpretation of the result, the new limit constrains previously unexamined ranges of $\varepsilon$ and $m_{\gamma_D}$. |
