Abstract:

We present a search for a new heavy vector boson Z′ that decays to gluons. Decays to on-shell gluons are suppressed, leading to a dominant decay mode of Z′→g*g. We study the case where the off-shell gluon g* converts to a pair of top quarks, leading to a final state of tt̄g. In a sample of events with exactly one charged lepton, large missing transverse momentum and at least five jets, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7fb-1 collected by the CDF II detector, we find the data to be consistent with the standard model. We set upper limits on the production cross section times branching ratio of this chromophilic Z′ at 95% confidence level from 300 to 40 fb for Z′ masses ranging from 400 to 1000GeV/c2, respectively. © 2012 American Physical Society.

Abstract:

A search for diphoton events with large missing transverse momentum has been performed using proton-proton collision data at s=7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb-1. No excess of events was observed above the Standard Model prediction and model-dependent 95% confidence level exclusion limits are set. In the context of a generalised model of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking with a bino-like lightest neutralino of mass above 50 GeV, gluinos (squarks) below 1.07 TeV (0.87 TeV) are excluded, while a breaking scale Λ below 196 TeV is excluded for a minimal model of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking. For a specific model with one universal extra dimension, compactification scales 1/R<1.40 TeV are excluded. These limits provide the most stringent tests of these models to date. © 2012 CERN.

Abstract:

A search is presented in proton-proton collisions at s=7TeV for fermionic triplet states expected in type III seesaw models. The search is performed using final states with three isolated charged leptons and an imbalance in transverse momentum. The data, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.9fb-1. No excess of events is observed above the background predicted by the standard model, and the results are interpreted in terms of limits on production cross sections and masses of the heavy partners of the neutrinos in type III seesaw models. Depending on the considered scenarios, lower limits are obtained on the mass of the heavy partner of the neutrino that range from 180 to 210GeV. These are the first limits on the production of type III seesaw fermionic triplet states reported by an experiment at the LHC. © 2012 CERN.
