Search for charged lepton flavor violating Z and Z' boson decays in proton-proton collisions at [Formula Presented]

Review ArticleAçık Erişim

Özet

A search for flavor violating decays of the Z boson to charged leptons is performed using data from proton-proton collisions at [Formula Presented] TeVcollected with the CMS detector at the LHC,corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. Each of the decays [Formula Presented] isconsidered. The data are consistent with the backgrounds expected from standard model processes. For the [Formula Presented] channel the observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit on the branching fraction is [Formula Presented], which is the most stringent direct limit to date on this process; the corresponding limits for the [Formula Presented] channels are [Formula Presented], respectively. Additionally, the eμ final state is used to search for lepton flavor violating decays of Z' resonances in the mass range from 110 to 500 GeV. No significant excess is observed above the predicted background levels. © 2025 CERN, for the CMS Collaboration
