Rev. D. All the figures and tables can be found at http://cms-results.web.cern.ch/cms-results/public-results/publications/B2G-17-001/ (CMS Public Pages)", "categories": [ "hep-ex" ], "abstract": "Results are presented from a search in the dijet final state for new massive narrow resonances decaying to pairs of W and Z bosons or to a W/Z boson and a quark. Results are based on data recorded in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 inverse-femtobarns. The mass range investigated extends upwards from 1.2 TeV. No excess is observed above the estimated standard model background and limits are set at 95% confidence level on cross sections, which are interpreted in terms of various models that predict gravitons, heavy spin-1 bosons, and excited quarks. In a heavy vector triplet model, W' and Z' resonances with masses below 3.6 and 2.7 TeV, respectively, are excluded at 95% confidence level. Similarly, excited quark resonances, q*, decaying to qW and qZ with masses less than 5.0 and 4.8 TeV, respectively, are excluded. In a narrow-width bulk graviton model, upper limits are set on cross sections ranging from 0.6 fb for high resonance masses of 4.1 TeV, to 37.1 fb for low resonance masses of 1.3 TeV. This search sets the most stringent mass limits to date on a q* resonance in the qW and qZ decay mode, as well as on a W' or Z' resonance in the diboson decay mode.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-17T17:54:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dijet final state", "massive resonances decaying", "decay mode", "narrow-width bulk graviton model", "heavy vector triplet model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
