LHC probes of the 10 TeV scale
arXiv:1912.13155
Abstract
The usual range of new particle masses, up to a few TeV, searched for at the LHC may be substantially extended if ultraheavy diquark particles exist. A diquark scalar, , that interacts perturbatively with two up quarks may be as heavy as 10 TeV and would still produce tens of spectacular events at the 14 TeV LHC. It is shown here that an ultraheavy could be discovered through final states of very high energy in various channels, especially if the diquark can decay into other new heavy particles. Examples include cascade decays of via a second scalar produced in pairs, which leads to two dijet resonances, or to more exotic signals with top quarks, Higgs bosons, electroweak bosons, and high- jets. Another possibility is that the diquark decays into a vectorlike quark of multi-TeV mass and a top or up quark. Signal events include one or two highly boosted top quarks and a Higgs boson or a , without counterparts containing top antiquarks. Similarly, direct decays of the diquark into or with leptonic top decays involve only positively charged leptons.
