Search for massive resonances decaying into WW, WZ, ZZ, qW and qZ in the dijet final state at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
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 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ recorded in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016. Resonances with masses of at least 1.2 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' and Z' resonances with masses below 3.6 and 2.7 TeV, respectively, are excluded at a confidence level of 95%. Similarly, excited quark resonances, q*, decaying to qW and qZ with masses less than 5.0 and 4.8 TeV, respectively, are excluded. In the narrow-width bulk graviton model, cross section upper limits in the range 37.1-0.6 fb are set.

The ${m_\mathrm {jj}}$ cut has been raised to 1080 GeV from the analysis threshold of 1050 GeV, since no requirement on the substructure is made for the softdrop mass plot and only $ {H_{\mathrm {T}}} $-based triggers and no jet substructure-based triggers can be used.

The effects of the PDF and scale uncertainties on the signal cross section are not included as nuisance parameters in the limit setting procedure, but are attached to the theory predictions.
Summary
We have presented a search for new resonances decaying to WW, ZZ, WZ, qW or qZ in which the bosons decay hadronically. W and Z bosons that decay to quarks are identified by requiring a jet with mass compatible with the W or Z boson mass, respectively. Additional information from jet substructure is used to reduce the background from QCD multijet processes. No evidence for a signal is found, and the result is interpreted as an upper limit on the production cross section as a function of the resonance mass in the context of the bulk graviton, and HVT model "B" W' and Z' models as well as in the context of excited quark resonances $\rm{q^*}$. For the HVT model B, we exclude W' and Z' resonances with masses below 3.6 TeV and 2.7 TeV, respectively. In the narrow-width bulk graviton model, cross sections are excluded in the range 37.1-0.6 fb. Exclusion limits are set at a confidence level of 95% on the production of excited quark resonances $\rm{q^*}$ decaying to qW and qZ for masses less than 5.0 TeV and TeV, respectively. This search sets the most stringent mass limits on a $\rm{q^*}$ resonance in the qW and qZ decay mode, as well as a W' or Z' resonance in the diboson decay mode.
