| Summary: | A search for heavy resonances, decaying into the standard model vector bosons
and the standard model Higgs boson, is presented. The final states considered contain
a b quark-antiquark pair from the decay of the Higgs boson, along with electrons and
muons and missing transverse momentum, due to undetected neutrinos, from the decay of
the vector bosons. The mass spectra are used to search for a localized excess consistent
with a resonant particle. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of
35.9 fb−1
collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC from proton-proton
collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data are found to be consistent with
background expectations. Exclusion limits are set in the context of spin-0 two Higgs
doublet models, some of which include the presence of dark matter. In the spin-1 heavy
vector triplet framework, mass-degenerate W0 and Z0
resonances with dominant couplings
to the standard model gauge bosons are excluded below a mass of 2.9 TeV at 95% confidence
level. |
