Description
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 √{s }=13 TeV with the CMS detector at
the CERN LHC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9
fb-1 . 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 3.2 and
2.7 TeV, respectively, and spin-1 resonances with degenerate masses
below 3.8 TeV are excluded at 95% confidence level. In the case of a
singlet W' resonance masses between 3.3 and 3.6 TeV can be
excluded additionally. Similarly, excited quark resonances,
q*, decaying to q W and q Z with masses less than 5.0 and 4.7
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 above 3.6 TeV, to 36.0 fb for low resonance masses of
1.3 TeV.
