Abstract: (Springer)

A search for the production of heavy resonances decaying into top quark-antiquark pairs is presented. The analysis is performed in the lepton+jets and fully hadronic channels using data collected in proton-proton collisions at

\sqrt{s}=13

TeV using the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.6 fb

^{−1}

. The selection is optimized for massive resonances, where the top quarks have large Lorentz boosts. No evidence for resonant

\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}

production is found in the data, and upper limits on the production cross section of heavy resonances are set. The exclusion limits for resonances with masses above 2 TeV are significantly improved compared to those of previous analyses at

\sqrt{s}=8

TeV.

Note:

Made a few small corrections. All the figures and tables can be found at http://cms-results.web.cern.ch/cms-results/public-results/publications/B2G-16-015
