Abstract:

A model-independent search for a narrow-width resonance decaying into two Higgs bosons, each having a mass of 125 GeV and decaying into a

\mathrm{b\bar{b}}

pair, is presented. The search is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb

^{\mathrm{-1}}

at

\sqrt{s} = 13

TeV recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. No evidence for a signal is observed and upper limits at a 95\% confidence level on the production cross section for such a resonance, in the mass range from 260 to 1200 GeV, are set.

Note:
