Search for Higgs-like bosons decaying into long-lived exotic particles. Eur. Phys. J. C 76, 664 (2016). https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-016-4489-71434-6044http://hdl.handle.net/10347/22439A search is presented for massive long-lived particles, in the 20–60 GeV/c2 mass range with lifetimes between 5 and 100 ps. The dataset used corresponds to 0.62 fb −1 of proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb detector at √s=7TeV. The particles are assumed to be pair-produced by the decay of a Higgs-like boson with mass between 80 and 140 GeV/c2. No excess above the background expectation is observed and limits are set on the production cross-section as a function of the long-lived particle mass and lifetime and of the Higgs-like boson mass.eng© CERN for the benefit of the LHCb collaboration 2016.
