Search for low-mass resonances decaying into bottom quark-antiquark pairs in proton-proton collisions at s =13 TeV

A search for narrow, low-mass, scalar, and pseudoscalar resonances decaying to bottom quark-antiquark pairs is presented. The search is based on events recorded in ffiffi s p ¼ 13 TeV proton-proton collisions with the CMS detector at the LHC, collected in 2016, and corresponding to an integrated...
