Abstract:
This letter reports the results of a search for physics beyond the standard model. The search is performed with events containing jets with substructure resulting from new particles decaying into a photon and two gluons. Jet substructure techniques are adapted to develop a new approach for photon identification in a dense hadronic environment. The proton-proton collision data analyzed were collected by the CMS experiment at s=13 TeV\sqrt{s}=13~\mathrm{TeV} during 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb135.9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}. No statistically significant excess is observed and the first cross section limits on processes yielding such events are set.
