| Abstract: A search is presented for a heavy resonance decaying into a Z boson and a Higgs (H) boson. The analysis uses data from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to 138 fb$ ^{-1} $ of integrated luminosity, recorded with the CMS experiment in the years 2016 to 2018. Resonance masses between 1.4 and 5 TeV are considered, resulting in large transverse momenta of the Z and H bosons. The search targets the Z boson decay into two electrons, two muons, or two neutrinos. The H boson is reconstructed with a single large-radius jet, recoiling against the Z boson. The search is designed for the hadronic H boson decay modes $ \mathrm{H} \to \mathrm{c}\bar{\mathrm{c}} $ and $ \mathrm{H} \to \mathrm{V}\mathrm{V}^{*} \to $ 4 quarks, where V denotes a W or Z boson. It achieves complementary sensitivity to previous searches targeting the $ \mathrm{H}\to \mathrm{b}\bar{\mathrm{b}} $ decays for high resonance masses. | ||
