Uncovering quirk signal via energy loss inside tracker
Abstract
The quirk particle carries Lorentz force and long-range infracolor force, while suffers relatively large ionization energy loss inside the detector. It can be indirectly constrained by mono-jet search or directly search through co-planar hits if the confinement scale is not too low ( 100 eV). Considering the ionization energy loss inside tracker, we improve the co-planar search. We also will solve the equation of motion for quirks numerically by including all of the important contributions. Based on our selection strategy, the 100 fb-1 dataset at the LHC will be able to probe the colored fermion/scalar quirks with masses up to 2.1/1.1 TeV, and the color neutral fermion/scalar quirks with masses up to 450/150 GeV, respectively.
