Wrong vertex displacements due to Lee-Wick resonances at LHC

We show how a resonance from the recently proposed Lee-Wick Standard Model could lead to the observation at the LHC of a here-proposed new observable called wrong vertex displacement. We study which could be the possible 'longest-lived' Lee-Wick particle that could be created at LHC, and w...

Sumario:We show how a resonance from the recently proposed Lee-Wick Standard Model could lead to the observation at the LHC of a here-proposed new observable called wrong vertex displacement. We study which could be the possible 'longest-lived' Lee-Wick particle that could be created at LHC, and we study its possible decays and detections. We conclude through a Monte Carlo simulation that this unique signature for acausal resonances, when analyzed within the Lee-Wick Standard Model, would be measurable in the LHC era if Minimal Flavour Violation is accomplished and if the Lee-Wick electrons mass scale is below ∼ 450 GeV. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.
