Search for a heavy resonance decaying into a Z boson and a Z or W boson in 2ℓ2q final states at √s=13 TeV
A search has been performed for heavy resonances decaying to ZZ or ZW in 2`2q final states, with two charged leptons (` = e, µ) produced by the decay of a Z boson, and two quarks produced by the decay of a W or Z boson. The analysis is sensitive to resonances with masses in the range from 400 to...

| Summary: | A search has been performed for heavy resonances decaying to ZZ or ZW in
2`2q final states, with two charged leptons (` = e, µ) produced by the decay of a Z boson,
and two quarks produced by the decay of a W or Z boson. The analysis is sensitive to
resonances with masses in the range from 400 to 4500 GeV. Two categories are defined
based on the merged or resolved reconstruction of the hadronically decaying vector boson,
optimized for high- and low-mass resonances, respectively. The search is based on data
collected during 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions
with a center-of-mass energy of √
s = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity
of 35.9 fb−1
. No excess is observed in the data above the standard model background
expectation. Upper limits on the production cross section of heavy, narrow spin-1 and
spin-2 resonances are derived as a function of the resonance mass, and exclusion limits on
the production of W0 bosons and bulk graviton particles are calculated in the framework
of the heavy vector triplet model and warped extra dimensions, respectively. |
