| Abstract: A search is presented for narrow resonances decaying to dijet final states in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV from an integrated luminosity of 12.9 fb$^{-1}$. Results are presented for two searches. A low-mass search, for a resonance mass between 0.6 TeV and 1.6 TeV, is performed using dijets that are reconstructed from calorimeter information in the high-level trigger. A high-mass search, for resonances with mass above 1.6 TeV, is performed using dijets reconstructed with the particle flow algorithm from the normal reconstruction chain. The pseudorapidity separation of the two jets is required to satisfy $|\Delta\eta_{\text{jj}}|< $ 1.3 with each jet inside the region $|\eta| < $ 2.5. The spectra are well described by a smooth parameterization and no significant evidence for new particle production is observed. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are reported on the production cross section times branching ratio to dijets times acceptance of the $|\Delta\eta_{\text{jj}}|$ and $|\eta|$ cuts for narrow resonances from quark-quark, quark-gluon and gluon-gluon final states. When interpreted in the context of specific models, the limits exclude string resonances with masses below 7.4 TeV, scalar diquarks below 6.9 TeV, axigluons and colorons below 5.5 TeV, excited quarks below 5.4 TeV, color-octet scalars below 3.0TeV, W' bosons below 2.7 TeV, Z' bosons below 2.1 TeV and between 2.3 to 2.6 TeV, and RS gravitons below 1.9 TeV, extending previously published limits in the dijet channel. | ||

Observed and expected mass limits at 95% CL from this analysis with 12.9 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt {s}=$ 13 TeV compared to previously published limits on narrow resonances from CMS with 2.4 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt {s}=$ 13 TeV [3] and with 20 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt {s}=$ 8 TeV [9]. The listed models are excluded between 0.6 TeV and the indicated mass limit by this analysis. For the Z' model, in addition to the observed mass limit listed below, this analysis also excludes the mass interval between 2.3 and 2.6 TeV . |
| Summary |
| In summary, two searches for narrow resonances decaying into a pair of jets have been performed using pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.9 fb$^{-1}$. A low-mass search using data scouting from the HLT trigger with calorimeter jets and a high-mass search using particle flow jets. The dijet mass spectra have been measured to be smoothly falling distributions. In the analyzed data samples, there is no evidence for resonant particle production. We present generic upper limits on the product $\sigma\, B\, A$ for narrow quark-quark, quark-gluon and gluon-gluon resonances that are applicable to any model of narrow dijet resonance production. We set mass limits at 95% CL on models of string resonances, scalar diquarks, excited quarks, axigluons, colorons, color octet scalars, W' bosons, Z' bosons, and RS gravitons, which extend previously published limits in the dijet channel. |
