A threshold-improved narrow-width approximation for BSM physics

چکیده
A modified narrow-width approximation that allows for O(Γ/M)-accurate predictions for resonant particle decay with similar intermediate masses is proposed and applied to MSSM processes to demonstrate its importance for searches for particle physics beyond the Standard Model.

Interference effects in BSM processes with a generalised narrow-width approximation
A generalisation of the narrow-width approximation (NWA) is formulated which allows for a consistent treatment of interference effects between nearly mass-degenerate particles in the factorisation of a more complicated process into production and decay parts. It is demonstrated that interference effects of this kind arising in BSM models can be very large, leading to drastic modifications of pr...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of the Construction of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Facilities in Three South African Hospitals
Introduction: Development of higher energy modalities such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), has led to more complex shielding problems. This is due to several factors, such as the radiopharmaceutical relatively high-administered activity, high patient throughput, and high energies of 511 kilo-electron volt (keV) positron annihilation photon...
متن کاملBreakdown of the narrow width approximation for new physics.
The narrow-width approximation is used in high-energy physics to reduce the complexity of scattering calculations. It is a fortunate accident that it works so well for the standard model, but in general it will fail in the context of new physics. We find numerous examples of significant corrections when the calculation is performed fully off shell including a finite width, notably from effects ...
متن کاملImplications of an R-Scan for Charm Physics
The impact of improved measurements of the cross section for electron-positron annihilation into hadrons in the charm threshold region is discussed. Two aspects are studied in detail: i.) A significant reduction of the experimental error of the electronic width of the narrow resonances J/ψ and ψ and of the continuum cross section from the open charm threshold up to 4.6 GeV will lead to a corres...
متن کاملSimulation of Finite Width Effects in Physics Beyond the Standard Model
We present a method for the inclusion of finite width effects in the simulation of Beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics. In order to test the validity of the method we compare our results with matrix elements for a range of production and decay processes in the Standard Model, Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and Minimal Universal Extra Dimensions model (MUED). This procedure has bee...
