The ATLAS Collaboration has measured the inclusive production of $Z$ bosons via their decays into electron and muon pairs in $p+$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ TeV Large Hadron Collider. measurements are made using data corresponding to integrated luminosities 29.4 nb$^{-1}$ 28.1 for $Z \rightarrow ee$ \mu\mu$, respectively. results from two channels consistent combined obtain a cross section times \ell\ell$ branching ratio, over rapidity region $|y^{*}_{Z}|<3.5$, 139.8 $\pm$ 4.8...
Particle physics today faces the challenge of explaining mystery dark matter, origin matter over anti-matter in Universe, neutrino masses, apparent fine-tuning electro-weak scale, and many other aspects fundamental physics. Perhaps most striking frontier to emerge search for answers involves new at mass scales comparable familiar below GeV-scale, or even radically below, down sub-eV scales, with very feeble interaction strength. New theoretical ideas address questions predict such feebly...
The constituents of dark matter are still unknown, and the viable possibilities span a vast range masses. physics community has established searching for sub-GeV as high priority identified accelerator-based experiments an essential facet this search strategy. A key goal program is testing broad idea thermally produced through designed to directly produce particles. most sensitive way production light use primary electron beam it in fixed-target collisions.
