Title: | Search for a scalar partner of the top quark in the all-hadronic t ¯t plus missing transverse momentum final state at √ s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector | Authors: | Fiolhais, M. C. N. Gonçalo, R. Veloso, F. Wolters, H. ATLAS Collaboration |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | Springer Nature | Serial title, monograph or event: | European Physical Journal C | Volume: | 80 | Issue: | 8 | Abstract: | A search for direct pair production of scalar partners of the top quark (top squarks or scalar third-generation up-type leptoquarks) in the all-hadronic t ¯t plus missing transverse momentum final state is presented. The analysis of 139 fb−1 of √ s = 13 TeV proton–proton collision data collected using the ATLAS detector at the LHC yields no significant excess over the Standard Model background expectation. To interpret the results, a supersymmetric model is used where the top squark decays via ˜t → t(∗) ˜χ 0 1 , with t(∗) denoting an on-shell (off-shell) top quark and ˜χ 0 1 the lightest neutralino. Three specific event selections are optimised for the following scenarios. In the scenario where m˜t > mt + m ˜χ 0 1 , top squark masses are excluded in the range 400–1250 GeV for ˜χ 0 1 masses below 200 GeV at 95% confidence level. In the situation where m˜t ∼ mt +m ˜χ 0 1 , top squarkmasses in the range 300–630 GeV are excluded, while in the case where m˜t < mW + mb + m ˜χ 0 1 (with m˜t − m ˜χ 0 1 ≥ 5 GeV), considered for the first time in an ATLAS all-hadronic search, top squark masses in the range 300–660 GeV are excluded. Limits are also set for scalar third-generation up-type leptoquarks, excluding leptoquarks with masses below 1240 GeV when considering only leptoquark decays into a top quark and a neutrino. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/106037 | DOI: | 10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-8102-8 | Rights: | openAccess |
