Search for excited quarks of light and heavy flavor in γ + jet final states in proton–proton collisions at s=13TeV

A search is presented for excited quarks of light and heavy flavor that decay to γ+jet final states. The analysis is based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1 collected by the CMS experiment in proton–proton collisions at s=13TeV at the LHC. A signal would appear as a reson...
