Abstract:
A search for new massive resonances decaying to pairs of W and Z bosons or to a W/Z boson and a quark in the dijet final state is presented. Results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.9 fb112.9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1} recorded in proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV\sqrt{s} = 13~\mathrm{TeV} with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016. Resonances with masses of at least 1.1 TeV1.1~\mathrm{TeV} and decaying to WW, WZ, ZZ, qW, or qZ are probed. Cross section and resonance mass exclusion limits are set for various models that predict gravitons, heavy spin-1 bosons and excited quarks. In a heavy vector triplet model ("B"), W\mathrm{W}^\prime and Z\mathrm{Z}^\prime resonances with masses below 2.72.7 and 2.6 TeV2.6~\mathrm{TeV}, respectively, are excluded at a confidence level of 95%95\%. Similarly, excited quark resonances, q\mathrm{q}^*, decaying to qW and qZ with masses less than 5.05.0 and 3.9 TeV3.9~\mathrm{TeV}, respectively, are excluded. In the narrow-width bulk graviton model, cross section upper limits in the range 280 fb2-80~\mathrm{fb} are set.
