Search for Scalar Bottom Quark Pair Production with the ATLAS Detector

in pp Collisions at

√

s = 7 TeV

The ATLAS Collaboration

The results of a search for pair production of the scalar partners of bottom quarks in 2.05 fb−1 _of

pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV using the ATLAS experiment are reported. Scalar bottom quarks are searched for in events with large missing transverse momentum and two jets in the final state, where both jets are identified as originating from a bottom quark. In an R-parity conserving minimal supersymmetric scenario, assuming that the scalar bottom quark decays exclusively into a bottom quark and a neutralino, 95% confidence-level upper limits are obtained in the ˜b1− ˜χ

0

1 mass plane

such that for neutralino masses below 60 GeV scalar bottom masses up to 390 GeV are excluded.

Supersymmetry (SUSY) [1–9] is a theory that provides an extension of the Standard Model (SM) and naturally resolves the hierarchy problem by introducing supersym-metric partners of the known bosons and fermions. In the framework of a generic R-parity conserving minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM, the MSSM, SUSY particles are produced in pairs and the lightest super-symmetric particle (LSP) is stable, providing a possi-ble candidate for dark matter. The scalar partners of right-handed and left-handed quarks (squarks) can mix to form two mass eigenstates. In a large variety of mod-els, the LSP is the lightest neutralino ( ˜χ01) and the mass of

the lightest scalar bottom quark eigenstate (sbottom, ˜b1)

can be significantly lower than the other squark masses.

Consequently, ˜b1could be produced with large cross

sec-tions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this Let-ter, a search for direct sbottom pair production is pre-sented, assuming a SUSY particle mass hierarchy such that the sbottom decays exclusively into a b-quark and a

˜ χ0

1 (˜b1 → b ˜χ01). The expected signal is characterized by the presence of two jets originating from the hadroniza-tion of the b-quarks and missing transverse momentum

— its magnitude is referred to as Emiss

T in the following

— resulting from the undetected neutralinos. Results of searches for direct sbottom production have been pre-viously reported by the Tevatron [10, 11] and LEP [12] experiments. The search described here extends these

re-sults using 2.05 fb−1_{of 7 TeV pp collision data recorded}

by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.

The ATLAS detector [13] consists of inner tracking de-vices surrounded by a superconducting solenoid, electro-magnetic and hadronic calorimeters, and a muon spec-trometer with a toroidal magnetic field. The inner detec-tor, in combination with the 2 T field from the solenoid, provides precision tracking of charged particles for |η| < 2.5 [14]. It consists of a silicon pixel detector, a silicon strip detector, and a straw tube tracker that also provides transition radiation measurements for electron identifica-tion. The calorimeter system covers the pseudorapidity

range |η| < 4.9. It is composed of sampling calorimeters with either liquid argon (LAr) or scintillating tiles as the active media. The muon spectrometer has separate trig-ger and high-precision tracking chambers which provide muon identification and measurement for |η| < 2.7.

This search uses data recorded between March and August 2011 at the LHC. After the application of beam, detector, and data quality requirements, the data set corresponds to a total integrated luminosity

of 2.05±0.08 fb−1 _{[15, 16]. The data are selected with}

a three-level trigger system that requires a high

trans-verse momentum (pT) jet and missing transverse

momen-tum [17]. Events are required to have a reconstructed primary vertex associated with five or more tracks, con-sistent with the beam spot position.

Jets are reconstructed offline from three-dimensional topological calorimeter energy clusters by using the

anti-kt jet algorithm [18, 19] with a radius parameter of 0.4.

The measured jet energy is corrected for inhomogeneities and for the non-compensating nature of the

calorime-ter by using pT- and η-dependent correction factors ([20]

and references therein). Only jet candidates with pT >

20 GeV within |η| < 2.8 are retained. During the data-taking period, a localized electronics failure in the LAr barrel calorimeter created an inactive region in the sec-ond and third calorimeter layers (∆η × ∆φ ≃ 1.4 × 0.2) in which on average 30% of the incident jet energy is not measured. If either of the two selected leading jets fall in this region the event is rejected. The loss in signal ac-ceptance is smaller than 10% for the models considered.

Electron candidates are required to have pT> 20 GeV,

|η| < 2.47, and satisfy the ‘medium’ selection criteria re-ported in [21]. Muon candidates are required to have

pT > 10 GeV, |η| < 2.4 and are identified as a match

between an extrapolated inner detector track and one or more track segments in the muon spectrometer. Ad-ditional requirements are applied to electron and muon candidates when defining lepton (ℓ=e, µ) control regions.

the ‘tight’ selection criteria in [21] and be isolated —

the pT sum of tracks within a cone in the (η, φ) plane

of radius ∆R = 0.2 around the candidate, ΣpT, must

be less than 10% of the electron pT. Muons must have

pT > 25 GeV, longitudinal and transverse impact

pa-rameter within 1 mm and 0.2 mm of the primary vertex,

respectively, and ΣpT < 1.8 GeV. Following the object

reconstruction described above, overlaps between jet can-didates and electrons or muons are resolved. Any jet within a distance ∆R = 0.2 of a ‘medium’ electron can-didate is discarded. Any remaining lepton within ∆R = 0.4 of a jet is discarded.

The calculation of Emiss

T is based on the magnitude

of the vectorial sum of the pT of the reconstructed jets

(with pT> 20 GeV and |η| < 4.5), leptons — including

non-isolated muons — and the calorimeter clusters not belonging to reconstructed objects [22].

Events must pass basic quality criteria against detector noise and non-collision backgrounds and are selected with at least one jet with pT> 130 GeV and ETmiss> 130 GeV to ensure full trigger efficiency, and one additional jet

with pT > 50 GeV. Both jets are required to be

associ-ated to the primary interaction and to originate from a b-quark using a tagging algorithm that exploits both im-pact parameter and secondary vertex information. Jets are tagged for |η| < 2.5 and the parameters of the algo-rithm are chosen such that a tagging efficiency of 60%, 10% and <1% is achieved for b-jets, c-jets, and light fla-vor or gluon jets, respectively, in t¯t events in Monte Carlo (MC) simulation [23]. Events with identified electron or

muon candidates or additional jets with pT > 50 GeV

are vetoed to exploit the topology of the addressed sig-nal. The multijet background contribution with large Emiss

T , due to the mismeasurement of the jet energies

in the calorimeters or to neutrino production in heavy quark decays, is suppressed by requiring the smallest

az-imuthal separation between the Emiss

T direction and any

of the two leading jets, ∆φmin, to be above 0.4. If a

third jet with 30 < pT< 50 GeV is found in the event,

its azimuthal separation with the Emiss

T must be above

0.2, where jets with pT below 30 GeV are not used due

to the large expected contribution from multiple

interac-tions. In addition, the ratio of Emiss

T to the scalar sum

of Emiss

T and the transverse momenta of the two leading

jets is required to be above 0.25.

A selection based on the boost-corrected contransverse

mass [24], mCT, is employed to further discriminate

sbot-tom pair production from SM background processes. For two identical decays of heavy particles into two visible particles v1 and v2, and into invisible particles, the con-transverse mass [25] is defined as ([ET(v1) + ET(v2)]2− [p_T(v1) − pT(v2)]2)1/2. The boost-corrected contrans-verse mass conservatively corrects to account for boosts in the transverse plane due to initial state radiation and hence protects the expected endpoint in the distri-bution. In the case of sbottom pair production with

˜b1 → b ˜χ01, mCT is expected to have an endpoint at

(m(˜b1)2 − m( ˜χ01)2)/m(˜b1). To maximize the sensitiv-ity across the ˜b1− ˜χ01 mass plane, three signal regions

(SR) are defined as a function of the mCT threshold,

with mCT> 100, 150 and 200 GeV.

Simulated event samples are used to aid in the de-scription of the background and to model the SUSY sig-nal. Top quark pair and single top production are sim-ulated with MC@NLO [26], fixing the top quark mass at 172.5 GeV, and the next-to-leading-order (NLO)

par-ton density function (PDF) set CTEQ6.6 [27].

Sam-ples of W +jets, Z+jets with light and heavy flavor jets,

and t¯t with additional b-jets, t¯tb¯b, are generated with

ALPGEN[28] and PDF set CTEQ6L1 [29]. The

fragmenta-tion and hadronizafragmenta-tion for the ALPGEN and MC@NLO sam-ples are performed with HERWIG [30], using JIMMY [31]

for the underlying event. Samples of Zt¯t and W t¯t are

generated with MADGRAPH [32] interfaced to PYTHIA [33]. Diboson (W W , W Z, ZZ) samples are generated with

HERWIG. All background cross sections are normalised to

the results of higher order calculations [34]. The signal samples are generated in the MSSM framework at fixed ˜b1 and ˜χ01 masses, with BR(˜b1 → b ˜χ01)=100%, using the

HERWIG++[30] v2.4.2 Monte Carlo program. The SUSY

sample yields are normalized to the results of NLO cal-culations, as obtained using the PROSPINO [35] v2.1 pro-gram. The CTEQ6.6M [36] parameterization of the PDFs is used and the renormalization and factorization scales,

µR,F= µ, are set to the sbottom mass. NLO cross

sec-tions vary between 12 pb and 0.05 pb for sbottom masses in the range 200-500 GeV. The MC samples are produced using parameters tuned as described in [37, 38] and are processed through a detector simulation [39] based on

GEANT4 [40]. Effects of multiple proton-proton

interac-tions per bunch crossing are included in the simulation. The signal efficiencies vary across the ˜b1- ˜χ01mass plane.

As an example, for the SR with mCT> 150 GeV the

ef-ficiencies are found to be between 1% and 6% as the sbottom mass increases from 200 GeV to 500 GeV, and

between 6% and 2% as ∆m = m_˜

b1− mχ˜ 0

1 decreases. The

sensitivity for ∆m below 130 GeV is limited by the

selec-tion in mCT and the trigger-driven requirements on the

leading jet pTand ETmiss.

The main SM processes contributing to the back-ground are top quark pair and single top production as well as associated production of W/Z bosons with heavy flavor jets — referred to as Z+hf and W +hf, respectively.

In particular, the signal region with mCT> 100 GeV is

dominated by semi-leptonic t¯t events as a consequence

of the mCT endpoint at 135 GeV in top pair

produc-tion, whilst the signal regions with mCT> 150, 200 GeV

are dominated by the irreducible Z+hf production with Z → νν decay, followed by W +hf production with W → τν. Contributions from multijet, diboson and

are sub-dominant. Non-collision backgrounds were found to be negligible.

The estimation of the main background processes is carried out by defining data control regions where each background component is dominant. The background estimate in each SR is derived through ‘transfer factors’ equivalent to the ratio of expected event yields in the sig-nal and control regions estimated using the MC. The con-tributions from top and W +hf production are estimated using a transfer factor from a control region where events

have exactly one electron or muon, Emiss

T > 80 GeV, and

at least two b-jets with pT > 130 GeV and 50 GeV. The

transverse mass of the (ℓ, Emiss

T ) system is required to be

between 40 GeV and 100 GeV to select events containing W → ℓν. The contribution to this control region from other SM processes accounts for less than 10% of the total and is estimated from simulation. The Z+hf contribu-tion is estimated using a transfer factor from a control region where events have two opposite-sign same-flavor

leptons (ℓ+_ℓ−_{), at least two b-jets with p}

T > 80 GeV

and 50 GeV, and invariant mass of the two leptons mℓℓ

between 81 GeV and 101 GeV (Z-mass interval). In

ad-dition, the transverse momentum of the (ℓ+_{, ℓ}−_{, E}miss

T )

system is required to be greater than 50 GeV. The contri-bution from top quark production in this control region accounts for about 50% of the total and is subtracted using a side-band estimate in two 40 GeV mass windows above and below the Z-mass interval.

The sub-dominant background contribution from di-bosons, Zt¯t, Wt¯t and t¯tb¯b is estimated using MC simula-tion and increases from 1% to 10% of the total SM

predic-tion as the selecpredic-tion cut on mCTincreases from 100 GeV

to 200 GeV. Finally, the residual multijet background is estimated using data. A sample of multijet events with large Emiss

T is constructed starting from multijet events

with low Emiss

T and smearing the momenta of jets with

response functions. This prediction is tuned in a multi-jet dominated control region where the requirement on

∆φmin is inverted [41]. The contribution is found to be

less than 5% across the SRs.

The total systematic uncertainty on the background expectations varies from 21% to 44%, increasing with the

mCT selection applied, and is dominated by the

uncer-tainty due to finite data statistics in the control regions. The next dominant uncertainty on the SM estimates de-rives from the residual uncertainties on the theoretical modeling of the top background. It varies between 10% and 15% depending on the SR and is evaluated using ad-ditional MC samples: ACERMC [42], [43] for the impact of initial and final state radiation, PYTHIA and POWHEG [44] for choice of fragmentation model and generator. The residual uncertainties on the W +hf and Z+hf theoreti-cal modeling account for less than 5% of the total un-certainty. Finally, the experimental uncertainties on the b-tagging efficiency and jet energy scale and resolution are also considered; across the SRs they vary between

5% and 8% and between 6% and 9%, respectively. For the SUSY signal processes, uncertainties on renor-malization and factorization scales and on the PDF affect the theoretical cross section. PDF uncertainties are es-timated using the CTEQ6.6M PDF error eigenvector set and are between 7% and 16% depending on the sbottom mass. The variation of renormalization and factorization scales by a factor of two changes the nominal signal cross

section, σnom, by ±15%, independently of m˜_b

1

. In the fol-lowing, the cross sections calculated with scale settings

2×µ and µ/2 are referred to as σmin and σmax,

respec-tively. The impact of detector-related uncertainties, such as the jet energy scale and b-tagging, on the signal event yields varies between 35% and 45% and is dominated by the uncertainties on the b-tagging efficiency.

Table I reports the observed number of events and the

SM predictions before the mCT selection and for each

SR. Both transfer factor and MC estimates are given. The data are in good agreement with the SM background expectations within uncertainties in all cases. Figure 1

shows the measured mCT and EmissT distributions before

mCTselection compared to the SM predictions. MC

esti-mates are used, rescaled to match the total integral and systematic uncertainties predicted by the transfer fac-tor estimates for Z+hf and the sum of top and W +hf, respectively. For illustrative purposes, the distributions expected for the MSSM scenario with sbottom and neu-tralino masses of 300 GeV and 100 GeV, respectively, are added to the SM predictions. The results are

In summary, we report results of a search for sbottom

pair production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV, based

on 2.05 fb−1 _{of ATLAS data. The events are selected}

with large Emiss

T and two jets consistent with originating

from b-quarks in the final state. The results are in agree-ment with SM predictions for backgrounds and translate into 95% C.L. upper limits on sbottom and neutralino masses in a given MSSM scenario for which the exclusive decay ˜b1→ b ˜χ01is assumed. For neutralino masses below 60 GeV, sbottom masses up to 390 GeV are excluded, significantly extending previous results.
