Abstract

Future lepton colliders such as the CEPC and FCC-ee would run as high-luminosity ZZ-boson factories, which offer a unique opportunity to study long-lived particles which couple to Z-bosons. In order to exemplify this particular advantage, in this work we consider one benchmark physics scenario where the long-lived lightest neutralinos pair (χ~10χ~10)(\tilde{\chi}_1^0\tilde{\chi}_1^0) is produced from ZZ-decays in the context of the R-parity violating supersymmetry. Our analysis indicates that when assuming BR(Zχ~10χ~10)=103(Z\rightarrow \tilde{\chi}_1^0\tilde{\chi}_1^0) = 10^{-3} and mχ~1040m_{\tilde{\chi}_1^0} \sim 40 GeV, the model parameter λ112/mf~2\lambda'_{112} / m^2_{\tilde{f}} can be discovered down to as low as 1.5×1014\sim 1.5 \times 10^{-14} (3.9×10143.9 \times 10^{-14}) GeV2^{-2} at the FCC-ee (CEPC) with center-of-mass energy s=91.2\sqrt{s} = 91.2 GeV and 150 (16) ab1^{-1} integrated luminosity. These limits exceed the projected sensitivity reaches of the ATLAS experiment at the HL-LHC and the proposed LHC experiments with far detectors (AL3X, CODEX-b, FASER, and MATHUSLA).
