摘要: The MATHUSLA detector is a simple large-volume tracking to be located on the surface above one of general-purpose experiments at Large Hadron Collider. This was proposed in [J. P. Chou, D. Curtin, and H. J. Lubatti, Phys. Lett. B 767, 29 (2017)PYLBAJ0370-269310.1016/j.physletb.2017.01.043] detect exotic, neutral, long-lived particles that might produced high-energy proton-proton collisions. In this paper, we consider use limited information MATHULSA would provide decay products particle. For case which particle pair-produced Higgs boson decays, show it possible measure mass determine dominant mode with less than 100 observed events. We discuss ability distinguish production its spin more general cases.
