Search for anomalous production of prompt like-sign muon pairs and constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

Understand

An inclusive search for anomalous production of two prompt, isolated muons with the same electric charge is presented.

  • The search is performed in a data sample corresponding to 1.6 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity collected in 2011 at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC.
  • Muon pairs are selected by requiring two isolated muons of the same electric charge with pT > 20 GeV and abs(eta) < 2.5.
  • Minimal requirements are placed on the rest of the event activity.
