A search is presented for physics beyond the standard model in final states with two opposite-sign, same-flavor leptons, jets, and missing transverse momentum. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2015. The analysis uses the invariant mass of the lepton pair, searching for a kinematic edge or a resonant-like excess compatible with the Z boson mass. Both search modes use several event categories in order to increase the sensitivity to new physics. These categories are based on the rapidity of the …


Search For Heavy Majorana Neutrinos In E±E±+ Jets And E±Μ±+ Jets Events In Proton-Proton Collisions At √S = 8 Tev, M M. Baarmand, Vallary Bhopatkar, Stefano Colafranceschi, Marcus Hohlmann, H Kalakhety, D Noonan, Tuhin S. Roy, Francisco X. Yumiceva, Cms Collaboration Apr 2016

A search is performed for heavy Majorana neutrinos (N) decaying into a W boson and a lepton using the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. A signature of two jets and either two same sign electrons or a same sign electron-muon pair is searched for using 19.7 fb-1 of data collected during 2012 in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV. The data are found to be consistent with the expected standard model (SM) background and, in the context of a Type-1 seesaw mechanism, upper limits are set on the cross section times branching fraction for production of …


Search For A Massive Resonance Decaying Into A Higgs Boson And A W Or Z Boson In Hadronic Final States In Proton-Proton Collisions At √S = 8 Tev, Vallary Bhopatkar, Marcus Hohlmann, H Kalakhety, D Mareskas-Palcek, Tuhin S. Roy, Francisco X. Yumiceva, Cms Collaboration Feb 2016

Search For A Massive Resonance Decaying Into A Higgs Boson And A W Or Z Boson In Hadronic Final States In Proton-Proton Collisions At √S = 8 Tev, Vallary Bhopatkar, Marcus Hohlmann, H Kalakhety, D Mareskas-Palcek, Tuhin S. Roy, Francisco X. Yumiceva, Cms Collaboration

A search for a massive resonance decaying into a standard-model-like Higgs boson (H) and a W or Z boson is reported. The analysis is performed on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1, collected in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. Signal events, in which the decay products of Higgs, W, or Z bosons at high Lorentz boost are contained within single reconstructed jets, are identified using jet substructure techniques, including the tagging of b hadrons. This is the first search for heavy resonances decaying into HW …
