Statistical combination of CMS searches for heavy resonances decaying to a pair of bosons or leptons at s= 13 TeV
Abstract: The statistical combination of searches for heavy resonances decaying to a pair of bosons or leptons is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb1 collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data are found to be consistent with background expectations. The exclusion limits set in the context of a spin-1 heavy vector triplet framework and spin-2 Bulk Graviton models are the most stringent to date presented by CMS. In a scenario with mass-degenerate W' and Z' resonances, heavy vector bosons with mass below 4.5 TeV are excluded at a 95% confidence level if the dominant couplings are to the standard model gauge bosons, and 5.0 TeV if the resonances couple predominantly to fermions.
