A Trigger for Displaced Muon Pairs Following the CMS Phase II Upgrades

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2020-08-17 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We show that the phase II upgrade of the CMS tracking detector could enable the experiment to trigger on very low mass O(1GeV)\mathcal{O}(1\,\text{GeV}) displaced muon pairs with minimal pTp_T cuts. As a result, CMS can be competitive with LHCb when searching for low mass displaced exotics originating from heavy flavor decays. The method can also be applied to signatures without muons but with a moderate amount of MET, HTH_T or multiple displaced vertices in the event.
