论文摘要
弱相互作用的大粒子(WIMP)范式是粒子暗物质(DM)最引人注目的场景之一。我们在本文中表明,高能量元对撞机可以就WIMP DM做出决定性的陈述,这应该是其主要物理驾驶员案例之一。我们通过采用DM作为Electroweak(EW)多重的最轻成员来证明这一点,这是一个简单,最具挑战性的WIMP场景之一,鉴于其最小的对撞机签名和1 TEV $ -23 TEV的高热目标质量尺度。我们对高能量万能山脉的覆盖率进行了首次研究,该研究通过单声道,VBF Di-Muon和一个新颖的单声道通道,重点介绍了简单,包容和保守的信号,并具有较大的缺失质量。使用这些包容性信号,可以用10 TEV MUON对撞机覆盖Doublet和Triplet的热目标。较高的能量,14 TEV $ - $ 75 TEV,将确保$5σ$超过较高的EW多重目标的热目标。我们还估计了寻找消失的轨道的范围,这表明了灵敏度的显着增强。
The Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) paradigm is one of the most compelling scenarios for particle dark matter (DM). We show in this paper that a high energy muon collider can make decisive statements about the WIMP DM, and this should serve as one of its main physics driver cases. We demonstrate this by employing the DM as the lightest member of an electroweak (EW) multiplet, which is a simple, yet one of the most challenging WIMP scenarios given its minimal collider signature and high thermal target mass scale of 1 TeV$-$23 TeV. We perform a first study of the reach of high energy muon colliders, focusing on the simple, inclusive and conservative signals with large missing mass, through the mono-photon, VBF di-muon and a novel mono-muon channel. Using these inclusive signals, it is possible to cover the thermal targets of doublet and triplet with a 10 TeV muon collider. Higher energies, 14 TeV$-$75 TeV, would ensure a $5 σ$ reach above the thermal targets for the higher EW multiplets. We also estimate the reach of a search for disappearing tracks, demonstrating the potential significant enhancement of the sensitivity.
