Abstract

A muon jet (μ\mu-jet) is a very special feature that consists of a cluster of collimated muons from the decay of a fast moving light particle of mass about O\mathcal{O}(1 GeV). We will use this feature to search for very light particles from rare decays of the Higgs boson. For such a small angular separation of muons which might come from a long-lived particle, both ATLAS and CMS could have the displaced-vertexing-reconstruction capability. We use two simple models of the Higgs-portal type to explore the possibilities of event topologies with two 2μ2\mu-jets, one 2μ2\mu-jet &\& one 4μ4\mu-jet, and two 4μ4\mu-jets in the final state at LHC-14. We also summarize existing constraints on these models.
