HEP_12: Stronger together to search for new heavy resonances in ATLAS

The search for new heavy particles is an important part of the physics program at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and has been the focus of an intense effort to uncover new physics beyond the Standard Model [1, 2, 3, 4] in a broad range of final states. In the cases where new heavy resonances would result from extensions of the SM gauge group, it is possible to systematically classify them and parameterize in terms of mass and couplings. Of particular interest are the singlet and the isospin triplet spin-1 resonances. For example, a generic model with isospin triplets formed by a new neutral Z boson (Z') and a pair of W bosons (W’), Heavy Vector Triplet (HVT) model, in case of flavour universality has four parameters, e.g. a mass and couplings to leptons (gl), quarks (gq) and Higgs and vector bosons (gH). Individual analyses only constrain a subset of these coupling parameters or have a limited sensitivity to them, but combination of channels leads to much stronger simultaneous constraints, exploiting their complementarity.

The ATLAS experiment has taken data for proton-proton collisions with √s = 13 TeV since 2015 (Run 2) and collected a total amount of data of 149 fb-1 until the end of Run 2 in December 2018. The ATLAS Collaboration published the first result of a combination searches for new particles decaying to pairs of W or Z bosons (VV, where V represents either a W or Z boson), or to a W/Z boson with a Higgs boson (VH) and pairs for light leptons (ll/lv, where l=electrons or muons and v represents a neutrino) in 2018 by using a part of data taken in Run 2 that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb-1 [5]. Our project aims the combination analysis with the full Run 2 dataset, where the VV/VH/ll/lv combination will be extended to other channels (di-jets, tt̄, tb̄, bb̄, ττ, τν, etc.), placing even stronger constraints on different new physics scenarios. The addition of the 3rd generation final states is particularly interesting; it will bring much stronger constraints on a new heavy neutral gauge boson which couples preferentially to the second and third generation fermions [6]. Such constraints will have direct impact on the scenarios where the flavor anomalies observed in LHCb and B-factories in the semi-leptonic B-meson decays are explained by the new gauge boson.
