Quantum black holes (QBHs) [1, 2] are predicted in low-scale quantum gravity theories that offer solutions to the mass hierarchy problem of the Standard Model (SM) by lowering the scale of quantum gravity (MD)

from the Planck scale (∼ 1016TeV) to a value of about 1 TeV. In models with large extra dimensions such as the Arkani-Hamed–Dimopoulous–Dvali (ADD) model [3–5], only the gravitational field is allowed to penetrate the n extra dimensions, while all SM fields are localized in the usual four-dimensional space-time. QBHs with masses near MD, postulated to conserve total angular

momen-tum, color and electric charge, may decay to two parti-cles [2, 6]. The behavior of QBHs is distinct from semi-classical black holes that decay via Hawking radiation to a large number of objects [7]. Searches for semi-classical black holes typically require three or more objects [8, 9]. The quantum approximations used in the modeling of black hole production are valid when black-hole masses are above a minimal threshold mass, Mth, which is taken

to be equivalent to the QBH inverse gravitational radius. If the QBHs investigated in this Letter are accessible at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) [10], they can produce lepton+jet final states [2, 6] motivating this first dedi-cated search for high-invariant-mass final states with a single electron (e) or a single muon (µ), and at least one jet. Two-particle QBH decays to a final state consisting of a lepton and a quark-jet violate lepton and baryon number conservation, producing a distinctive signal for physics beyond the SM. Previous searches for QBHs re-lied on signatures such as dijet mass distributions [11, 12], generic multiobject configurations [9] and photon+jet fi-nal states [13].

The largest QBH cross section for the final states con-sidered is predicted for the collision of two u-quarks (σuu), which produces charge +4/3 objects with equal

branching fractions (BFs) of BFuu = 11% to each

lep-ton+jet final state. The next largest cross sections are for charge +1/3 (ud) and −2/3 (dd) QBHs with lepton+jet BFs of BFud = 5.7% and BFdd = 6.7% [6]. Processes

with initial states having antiquarks and heavier

sea-quarks are suppressed by at least a factor of 100 and can be neglected. The QBH cross section is a steeply declin-ing function of Mth, and has Σσqq× BFqq≈ 8.6 × 105fb,

8.9×102_{fb and 0.75 fb for M}

thof 1 TeV, 3 TeV and 5 TeV,

respectively [14].

The ATLAS detector [15] includes an inner tracker, covering a pseudorapidity [16] range |η| < 2.5, sur-rounded by a superconducting solenoid providing a 2 T central field. A liquid-argon (LAr) electromagnetic (EM) sampling calorimeter (|η| < 3.2), a scintillator-tile hadronic calorimeter (|η| < 1.7), a LAr hadronic calorimeter (1.4 < |η| < 3.2), and a LAr forward calorimeter (3.1 < |η| < 4.9) provide the energy mea-surements. The muon spectrometer consists of tracking chambers covering |η| < 2.7, and trigger chambers cov-ering |η| < 2.4, in a magnetic field produced by a system of air-core toroids. Events considered in this analysis are required to have one high-transverse-momentum (high-pT) lepton (e/µ) that passes requirements of the

three-level trigger system [17]. The thresholds applied at the third trigger level are 60 GeV and 36 GeV for electrons and muons, respectively. The analysis is based on the complete 2012 data set of pp collisions taken at a center-of-mass energy of√s = 8 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 ± 0.6 fb−1 [18] after data-quality requirements.

The event selection is designed to be efficient for generic lepton+jet final states and is based on leading-order simulated-signal QBH events obtained from the QBH1.04 generator [14], followed by parton showering and hadronization using PYTHIA8.165 [19]. The sig-nal generator uses the MSTW2008LO [20] set of leading-order parton distribution functions (PDFs) with the AU2 underlying-event tune [21]. This Letter assumes the ADD model with Mth = MD, n = 6, and the QCD

factor-ization scale for the PDFs set to the inverse gravitational radius [14]. Samples with Mth from 1 TeV to 6 TeV, in

steps of 0.5 TeV, are generated for both channels. Events with a high-pT lepton and one or more jets

includ-ing vector-boson production with additional jets; diboson (W W, W Z, ZZ), top-quark pair (t¯t) and single top-quark (t or ¯t) production; and multijet processes including non-prompt leptons from semileptonic hadron decays and jets misidentified as leptons.

The EW background in the signal region (SR) is es-timated using Monte Carlo (MC) samples normalized to data in control regions. All MC simulated sam-ples are produced using the ATLAS detector simula-tion [22] based on GEANT4 [23]. The simulated events are reconstructed in the same manner as the data. The t¯t and single-top-quark events are simulated with MC@NLO4.06 [24] and AcerMC3.8 [25], respectively; the production of W +jets and Z+jets is simulated using ALPGEN2.14 [26]; and diboson production is simulated with SHERPA1.4.1 [27]. The leading-order CTEQ6L1 PDFs [28] are used for ALPGEN and AcerMC samples while the next-to-leading-order CT10 PDFs [29] are used for the SHERPA and MC@NLO samples. The generators for all samples except dibosons are interfaced to HER-WIG6.520 [30, 31] for parton showering and hadroniza-tion and to JIMMY4.31 [32] for the underlying-event model. The results of higher-order calculations are used to adjust the relative fractions of the simulated events as in Refs. [33, 34]. Additional inelastic pp interactions, termed pileup, are included in the event simulation so as to match the distribution in the data (on average 21 interactions per bunch crossing).

Electron candidates are identified as localized depo-sitions of energy in the EM calorimeter with p_Te > 130 GeV and |η| < 2.47, excluding the barrel–endcap transition region, 1.37 < |η| < 1.52, and matched to a track reconstructed in the tracking detectors. Back-ground from jets is reduced by requiring that the shower profiles are consistent with those of electrons [35]. Iso-lated electrons are selected by requiring the trans-verse energy deposited in a cone of radius ∆R = p(∆η)2_{+ (∆φ)}2_{= 0.3 centered on the electron cluster,}

excluding the energy of the electron cluster itself, to be less than 0.0055 × p_Te+ 3.5 GeV after corrections for en-ergy due to pileup and enen-ergy leakage from the electron cluster into the cone. This criterion provides nearly con-stant selection efficiency for signal events over the entire p_Terange explored and for all the pileup conditions.

Muon candidates are required to be detected in at least three layers of the muon spectrometer and to have p_Tµ> 130 GeV and |η| < 2.4. Possible background from cosmic rays is reduced by requiring the transverse and longitudinal distances of closest approach to the interac-tion point to be smaller than 0.2 mm and 1.0 mm, respec-tively. Signal muons are required to be isolated such that P pT< 0.05 × pTµ, whereP pTis the sum of the pT of

the other tracks in a cone of radius ∆R = 0.3 around the direction of the muon.

Jets are constructed from three-dimensional noise-suppressed clusters of calorimeter cells using the anti-kt

algorithm with a radius parameter of 0.4 [36, 37]. Jet energies are corrected for losses in material in front of the active calorimeter layers, detector inhomogeneities, the non-compensating nature of the calorimeter, and pileup. Jet energies are calibrated using MC simula-tion and the combinasimula-tion of several in-situ techniques applied to data [38–40]. All jets are required to have p_Tj > 50 GeV and |η| < 2.5. In addition, the most ener-getic jet is required to have p_Tj > 130 GeV.

The missing transverse momentum (with magnitude Emiss_T ), used only in the background estimation, is calcu-lated as the negative of the vectorial sum of calibrated clustered energy deposits in the calorimeters, and is cor-rected for the momenta of any reconstructed muons [41]. In the electron (muon) channel, events are required to have exactly one electron (muon). Multijet background can be reduced, with minimal loss in signal efficiency, by requiring the average value of η for the lepton and lead-ing jet to satisfy |hηi| < 1.25 and the difference between the lepton and leading jet η to satisfy |∆η| < 1.5. The signal lepton and jet are mostly back-to-back in φ and are required to satisfy |∆φ| > π/2.

The invariant mass (minv) is calculated from the lepton

and highest-pTjet. The SR is defined by a lower bound

on minv, mmin, that accounts for experimental

resolu-tion. In the electron channel mmin = 0.9Mthis used. In

the muon channel, the requirement is loosened at high invariant mass, as muon resolution has a term quadratic in p_Tµ, resulting in mmin= [0.95 − 0.05Mth/1TeV] Mth.

A low-invariant-mass control region (LIMCR) is defined with minv between 400 GeV and 900 GeV, which has a

negligible contamination from a potential signal (< 2%) for the lowest Mth considered.

The acceptance of the event selection is about 65%, based on generator-level quantities and calculated by imposing selection criteria that apply directly to phase space (lepton/jet η, lepton/jet pT, ∆η, ∆φ, hηi, and

minv). All other selection criteria, which in general

cor-respond to event and object quality requirements, are used to calculate the experimental efficiency based on the events included in the acceptance. The experimental efficiency falls from 89(59)% to 81(50)% for masses from 1 TeV to 6 TeV in the electron (muon) channel. The ex-perimental efficiency in the muon channel is lower than that in the electron channel because more stringent re-quirements are applied to ensure the best possible reso-lution on minv. The cumulative signal efficiency is the

product of the acceptance and experimental efficiency. In the electron channel, the multijet background is characterized by small values of Emiss

T , while EW

back-ground events can have large Emiss

T due to the production

of high-momentum neutrinos. The discriminating power of Emiss

T is used to determine the normalization of the

two backgrounds to the data in the LIMCR. The multijet template is taken from data in which electron candidates pass relaxed identification criteria but fail the normal

identification selection, and the EW template is taken from MC simulation where electron candidates pass the normal selection. The templates are fit to the Emiss

T

distribution in the interval [0, 150] GeV in five separate detector-motivated regions of η, to determine normaliza-tion factors for both the multijet and EW backgrounds.

To extrapolate both the multijet and EW background to the SR, functions of the form p1xp2+p3ln(x)(1 − x)p4

(with x = minv/

√

s and fit parameters p1–p4) [42] are

used and the contributions are scaled by the correspond-ing normalization factor derived in the LIMCR. A simple power-law fit, with p3 and p4 fixed to zero, adequately

describes both data and simulation. This is used as the baseline, while p3 and p4 are allowed to vary as part of

the evaluation of the systematic uncertainty.

In the muon channel, the multijet and EW back-grounds can be discriminated on the basis of the trans-verse impact parameter (d0) distribution of the muon

since multijet background is dominated by jets contain-ing charm and bottom hadrons decaycontain-ing to muons while EW backgrounds are dominated by prompt muons. The template for the EW background is selected using Z-boson decays to two muons while the template for multi-jet background is taken from muons that fail the isolation requirement. Both templates are taken from data. The templates are fit to the d0 distribution in the interval

[−0.1, +0.1] mm to determine the normalization factors. The fraction of multijet background, 0.046 ± 0.005, is ne-glected when extrapolating the background in SR. The procedure for extrapolating the EW background to the SR is the same as for the electron channel.

The background estimate in the SR, shown in Fig. 1, was not compared to data until the final fit method and parameters were fixed. The hatched area in Fig. 1 shows the total uncertainty in the background estimate, which is dominated by the systematic uncertainties. In extract-ing the limits, the fits described above are used to extrap-olate the background into the high invariant-mass region. The systematic uncertainties on the background are evaluated as a function of minv, and are dominated by

uncertainties on the fits used to extrapolate the back-ground to the highest minv, uncertainties on PDFs, and

the choice of MC generator. Systematic uncertainties due to the choice of fitting functions are evaluated by fitting the minv spectrum with parameters p3 and p4 free and

taking the difference between these fits and the fits with p3and p4 fixed to zero. Additionally, SHERPA samples

are used instead of ALPGEN and the fits are repeated. The uncertainty in the PDFs is estimated using a set of 44 PDF eigenvectors for CTEQ6.6 [43]. For each of the 44 sets, the background fits are repeated and the extrap-olated backgrounds are estimated. To estimate the un-certainty in the multijet background in the electron chan-nel, an alternative selection of background-enriched data events, based on photons, is used. The systematic

the muon+jet channel, for data (points with error bars) and for SM backgrounds (solid histograms). Overlaid are two ex-amples of QBH signals. The sum of the uncertainties due to the finite MC sample size and from various sources of sys-tematic uncertainty is shown by the hatched area. To extract the upper limit on the lepton+jet cross section, a fit to the invariant-mass distribution is performed, replacing the uncer-tainties due to MC sample size by the statistical unceruncer-tainties on the fit parameters.

tainties from the simulation of the detector response are associated with the jet and electron energy scales and res-olutions, the muon momentum scale and resolution, and the trigger requirement. The combined uncertainty in the background prediction ranges from 16% (1 TeV) to 100% (6 TeV) for the electron channel and from 50% (1 TeV) to 170% (6 TeV) for the muon channel. Background system-atic uncertainties for Mth = 5 TeV are given in Table I.

Uncertainties on the signal efficiency in each of the mass bins are associated with the requirements on ∆η, ∆φ, hηi, minv, and isolation. In addition, uncertainties

on the detector simulation, mentioned above for the back-ground, as well as the uncertainty in luminosity are taken into account. The combined uncertainty in the signal ef-ficiency from these sources ranges from 3.5% at 1 TeV to

The cu-mulative efficiency, shown in Table II, is taken from the signal MC simulation for charge +4/3 QBHs. The differ-ences in the efficiency between the charge +4/3 state and the other charged states are much smaller than the uncer-tainties mentioned above and are neglected. The effect of the 0.65% uncertainty in the LHC beam energy [44] is to change the QBH production cross section. Since the QBH cross section is nearly constant in Mth/

√ s this is effectively an uncertainty in Mth and has a negligible

effect on the limits.

Also shown are the ±1σ and ±2σ bands indicating the underlying distribution of pos-sible limit outcomes under the background-only hypothesis. The predicted cross section for QBHs is shown as the solid curve.

tion of QBHs above Mth are determined in the interval

1 − 6 TeV assuming lepton universality and using the CLs method [45, 46], which is designed to give conservative limits in cases where the observed background fluctuates below the expected values. The statistical combination of the channels employs a likelihood function constructed as the product of Poisson probability terms describing the total number of events observed in each channel. Sys-tematic uncertainties are incorporated as nuisance pa-rameters into the likelihood through their effect on the mean of the Poisson functions and through convolution with their assumed Gaussian distributions. Correlations between channels are taken into account.

Figure 2 shows the 95% confidence level (C.L.) com-bined lepton+jet upper limit on the cross section times branching fraction for the production of QBHs as a func-tion of Mth. Above 3.5 TeV, the limit is 0.18 fb. For the

n = 6 QBH model assumed in this Letter, the 95% C.L. lower limit on Mth is 5.3 TeV. For n = 2, and all other

model assumptions the same, the 95% C.L. lower limit on Mthis 4.7 TeV. Treating the channels separately, the 95%

C.L. upper limit on the electron (muon)+jet Σσqq×BFqq

above 3.5 TeV is 0.27 (0.49) fb, and the n = 6 lower limit on Mth is 5.2 (5.1) TeV.

In conclusion, a first search for two body lepton+jet final states with large invariant mass has been performed using 20.3 fb−1 of pp collisions recorded at√s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. In the invariant-mass region above 1 TeV the observed events are consis-tent with data-driven extrapolated backgrounds from the low-invariant-mass control region. Above 3.5 TeV the

ex-pected background drops below one event and the 95% C.L. upper limit on the electron (muon)+jet Σσqq×BFqq

is 0.27 (0.49) fb. Assuming lepton universality, the 95% C.L. upper limit on the sum of the product of QBH lepton+jet production cross sections and branching frac-tions is 0.18 fb.
