Search for boosted quark-antiquark resonances produced in association with a photon at s= 13 TeV
Abstract: A search for narrow resonances decaying to quark-antiquark pairs is presented. The search is based on events collected in center-of-mass energy s= 13 TeV proton-proton collisions with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb1, collected in 2016. The search considers the case where the resonance is produced with high transverse momentum due to initial-state radiation of a photon. As a result, the decay products of the resonance are reconstructed as a single large-radius jet with two-pronged substructure. The signal can be identified as a localized excess in the jet invariant mass spectrum. No evidence for such a resonance is observed in the mass range 10 to 125 GeV. Upper limits at the 95% confidence level are set on the production cross sections of vector resonances decaying to pairs of quark, and presented in a mass-coupling parameter space. This result constitutes the first constraint of its kind in this resonance mass range.
