Abstract: A search for the pair production of resonances decaying to two quarks is reported. The search is conducted separately for lighter resonances between 80 and 400 GeV in mass, when the resulting diquark decay products are collimated and reconstructed as a single jet producing a dijet final state, and for heavier resonances above 400 GeV in mass, when the decay products generate pairs of hadronic jets producing a four-jet final state. In addition, a b-tagged selection is applied to target resonances with a bottom quark in the final state. The analysis uses data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The mass spectra are analyzed for the presence of new resonant particles, and are found to be consistent with standard model expectations. The results are interpreted in the framework of R-parity-violating supersymmentry assuming the pair production of scalar top quarks decaying via the $\lambda^{\prime \prime}_{\mathrm{312}}$ or the $\lambda^{\prime \prime}_{\mathrm{323}}$ hadronic couplings, and upper limits are placed on the pair production cross section of top squarks as a function of the top squark mass for the two hadronic coupling scenarios. | ||

Summary |
A search has been performed for the pair production of diquark resonances in two jet events in a boosted jet topology and in four-jet events in a resolved jet topology. Data is analyzed from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV collected in 2016 with the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. In the boosted search the distribution of the average mass of the selected two jets has been investigated for localized disagreements between the data and the background estimate, consistent with a new resonance, while in the resolved analysis the average mass of the selected dijet pairs is examined for localized disagreements between data and the background expectations. The boosted search explores resonance masses between 60 and 450 GeV, while the resolved one covers masses above 350 GeV. We find agreement between observations and standard model expectations. These results are interpreted in the framework of RPV SUSY assuming the pair production of top squarks decaying to quarks via the ${\lambda ^{\prime \prime}_{\mathrm {312}}}$ or the ${\lambda ^{\prime \prime}_{\mathrm {323}}}$ couplings, assuming 100% branching ratios to ${\tilde{\mathrm{t}}\to\mathrm{q}\mathrm{q}^{\prime}} $ or ${\tilde{\mathrm{t}}\to\mathrm{b}\mathrm{q}^{\prime}} $, respectively. Upper limits are set at 95% confidence level on the pair production cross section of top squarks as a function of the top squark mass. We exclude top squark masses from 80 to 520 GeV assuming the ${\lambda ^{\prime \prime}_{\mathrm {312}}}$ coupling, and from 80 to 270 GeV, 285 to 340 GeV, and 400 to 525 GeV assuming the ${\lambda ^{\prime \prime}_{\mathrm {323}}}$ coupling. |
