Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:A combination of searches for Higgs boson decays into a visible photon and a massless dark photon (\( H \rightarrow \gamma \gamma_d \)) is presented using 139 fb\(^{-1}\) of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of \( \sqrt{s} = 13 \) TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed (expected) 95\% confidence level upper limit on the Standard Model Higgs boson decay branching ratio is determined to be \( B(H \rightarrow \gamma \gamma_d) < 1.3\% \) (1.5)%. The search is also sensitive to higher-mass Higgs bosons decaying into the same final state. The observed (expected) 95\% confidence level limit on the cross-section times branching ratio ranges from 16 fb (20 fb) for \( m_H = 400 \) GeV to 1.0 fb (1.5 fb) for \( m_H = 3 \) TeV. Results are also interpreted in the context of a minimal simplified model.
