@misc{10481/72823, year = {2022}, month = {1}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10481/72823}, abstract = {A search optimized for new heavy particles decaying to two b-quarks and produced in association with additional b-quarks is reported. The sensitivity is improved by b-tagging at least one lower-pT jet in addition to the two highest-pT jets. The data used in this search correspond to an integrated luminosity of 103 fb-1 collected with a dedicated trijet trigger during the 2017 and 2018 s=13 TeV proton-proton collision runs with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The search looks for resonant peaks in the b-tagged dijet invariant mass spectrum over a smoothly falling background. The background is estimated with an innovative data-driven method based on orthonormal functions. The observed b-tagged dijet invariant mass spectrum is compatible with the background-only hypothesis. Upper limits at 95% confidence level on a heavy vector-boson production cross section times branching ratio to a pair of b-quarks are derived.}, organization = {ANID}, organization = {BSF-NSF}, organization = {CEA-DRF}, organization = {Cantons of Bern and Geneva}, organization = {Czech Republic}, organization = {DNSRC IN2P3-CNRS}, organization = {EU-ESF}, organization = {GIF, Israel}, organization = {GenT Programmes Generalitat Valenciana, Spain}, organization = {IRFU}, organization = {La Caixa Banking Foundation}, organization = {MES of Russia}, organization = {MESTD}, organization = {MIZŠ}, organization = {MSMT}, organization = {MSSR}, organization = {Norwegian Financial Mechanism}, organization = {PROMETEO}, organization = {RGC}, organization = {VSC CR}, organization = {Wallenberg Foundation}, organization = {National Science Foundation}, organization = {U.S. Department of Energy}, organization = {Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung}, organization = {Canarie}, organization = {H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions}, organization = {Arizona-Nevada Academy of Science}, organization = {CERN}, organization = {Compute Canada}, organization = {Göran Gustafssons Stiftelser}, organization = {Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada}, organization = {National Research Council Canada}, organization = {Canada Foundation for Innovation}, organization = {Science and Technology Facilities Council}, organization = {Leverhulme Trust}, organization = {Royal Society}, organization = {European Research Council}, organization = {European Cooperation in Science and Technology}, organization = {Australian Research Council}, organization = {Neurosurgical Research Foundation}, organization = {Singapore Eye Research Institute}, organization = {Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft}, organization = {Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft}, organization = {Agence Nationale de la Recherche}, organization = {Japan Society for the Promotion of Science}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology}, organization = {Schweizerischer Nationalfonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung}, organization = {Danmarks Grundforskningsfond}, organization = {Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo}, organization = {National Natural Science Foundation of China}, organization = {Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia}, organization = {Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung}, organization = {Chinese Academy of Sciences}, organization = {Austrian Science Fund}, organization = {Generalitat de Catalunya}, organization = {Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y Tecnológica}, organization = {Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek}, organization = {Bundesministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Wirtschaft}, organization = {Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico}, organization = {Joint Institute for Nuclear Research}, organization = {Nella and Leon Benoziyo Center for Neurological Diseases, Weizmann Institute of Science}, organization = {Israel Science Foundation}, organization = {Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare}, organization = {Narodowe Centrum Nauki}, organization = {Javna Agencija za Raziskovalno Dejavnost RS}, organization = {Ministerstwo Edukacji i Nauki}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan}, organization = {Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación}, organization = {Centre National pour la Recherche Scientifique et Technique}, organization = {Horizon 2020}, organization = {British Columbia Knowledge Development Fund}, organization = {European Regional Development Fund}, organization = {Defence Science Institute}, organization = {Council on grants of the President of the Russian Federation}, organization = {National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute"}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, title = {Search for heavy particles in the b-tagged dijet mass distribution with additional b-tagged jets in proton-proton collisions at √s=13  TeV with the ATLAS experiment}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevD.105.012001}, author = {Aad, G. and Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio and Atlas Collaboration}, }
