Measurement of the Z boson invisible width at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
(2024) In Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics 854.- Abstract
- A measurement of the invisible width of the Z boson using events with jets and missing transverse momentum is presented using 37 fb−1 of 13 TeV proton–proton data collected by the ATLAS detector in 2015 and 2016. The ratio of Z→inv to Z→ℓℓ events, where inv refers to non-detected particles and ℓ is either an electron or a muon, is measured and corrected for detector effects. Events with at least one energetic central jet with pT≥110 GeV are selected for both the Z→inv and Z→ℓℓ final states to obtain a similar phase space in the ratio. The invisible width is measured to be 506±2(stat.)±12(syst.) MeV and is the single most precise recoil-based measurement. The result is in agreement with the most precise determination from LEP and the... (More)

The result is in agreement with the most precise determination from LEP and the Standard Model prediction based on three neutrino generations. © 2024 The Author(s) (Less)
