    Measurement of isolated-photon plus two-jet production in pp collisions at p s = 13TeV with the ATLAS detector

    The dynamics of isolated-photon plus two-jet production in "padding-size-4-x display--inline-block" style="background: var(--highlight-yellow); color: inherit;">pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are studied with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1. Cross sections are measured as functions of a variety of observables, including angular correlations and invariant masses of the objects in the final state, γ + jet + jet. Measurements are also performed in phase-space regions enriched in each of the two underlying physical mechanisms, namely direct and fragmentation processes. The measurements cover the range of photon (jet) transverse momenta from 150 GeV (100 GeV) to 2 TeV. The tree-level plus parton-shower predictions from Sherpa and Pythia as well as the next-to-leading-order QCD predictions from Sherpa are compared with the measurements. The next-to-leading-order QCD predictions describe the data adequately in shape and normalisation except for regions of phase space such as those with high values of the invariant mass or rapidity separation of the two jets, where the predictions overestimate the data.

    Search for long-lived neutral particles produced in pp collisions at ffisffi p =13 TeV decaying into displaced hadronic jets in the ATLAS inner detector and muon spectrometer
    (American Physical Society, 2020-03) Aad, G.; Abbott, B.; Abbott, D.C; Abed Abud, A; Abeling, K; Abhayasinghe, D.K; Abidi, S.H.; Abouzeid, O.S.; Abraham, N.L; Abramowicz, H.; Abreu, H; Abulaiti, Y.
    A search is presented for pair production of long-lived neutral particles using 33 fb-1 of s=13 TeV proton-proton collision data, collected during 2016 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. This search focuses on a topology in which one long-lived particle decays in the ATLAS inner detector and the other decays in the muon spectrometer. Special techniques are employed to reconstruct the displaced tracks and vertices in the inner detector and in the muon spectrometer. One event is observed that passes the full event selection, which is consistent with the estimated background. Limits are placed on scalar boson propagators with masses from 125 GeV to 1000 GeV decaying into pairs of long-lived hidden-sector scalars with masses from 8 GeV to 400 GeV. The limits placed on several low-mass scalars extend previous exclusion limits in the range of proper lifetimes cτ from 5 cm to 1 m. © 2020 CERN.

    Searches for electroweak production of supersymmetric particles with compressed mass spectra in ffiffi s p =13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector
    (American Physical Society, 2020-03) Aad, G.; Abbott, B.; Abbott, D.C; Abed, Abud A; Abeling, K; Abhayasinghe, D.K; Abidi, S.H; Abouzeid, O.S.; Abraham, N.L; Abramowicz, H.; Abreu, H.; Abulaiti, Y.
    This paper presents results of searches for the electroweak production of supersymmetric particles in models with compressed mass spectra. The searches use 139 fb-1 of s=13 TeV proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with missing transverse momentum and two same-flavor, oppositely charged, low-transverse-momentum leptons are selected, and are further categorized by the presence of hadronic activity from initial-state radiation or a topology compatible with vector-boson fusion processes. The data are found to be consistent with predictions from the Standard Model. The results are interpreted using simplified models of R-parity-conserving supersymmetry in which the lightest supersymmetric partner is a neutralino with a mass similar to the lightest chargino, the second-to-lightest neutralino, or the slepton. Lower limits on the masses of charginos in different simplified models range from 193 to 240 GeV for moderate mass splittings, and extend down to mass splittings of 1.5 to 2.4 GeV at the LEP chargino bounds (92.4 GeV). Similar lower limits on degenerate light-flavor sleptons extend up to masses of 251 GeV and down to mass splittings of 550 MeV. Constraints on vector-boson fusion production of electroweak SUSY states are also presented. © 2020 CERN
