摘要
We report the first search for a nonstandard-model resonance decaying into τ pairs in e+e−→μ+μ−τ+τ− events in the 3.6–10 GeV/c2 mass range. We use a 62.8 fb−1 sample of e+e− collisions collected at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. The analysis probes three different models predicting a spin-1 particle coupling only to the heavier lepton families, a Higgs-like spin-0 particle that couples preferentially to charged leptons (leptophilic scalar), and an axionlike particle, respectively. We observe no evidence for a signal and set exclusion limits at 90% confidence level on the product of cross section and branching fraction into τ pairs, ranging from 0.7 to 24 fb, and on the couplings of these processes. We obtain world-leading constraints on the couplings for the leptophilic scalar model for masses above 6.5 GeV/c2 and for the axionlike particle model over the entire mass range.Received 22 June 2023Accepted 8 August 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.121802Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.
