Search for resonance production in events with a photon and jet with the CMS experiment
Abstract: A search for resonance production in the $ \gamma+ $jet final state has been performed using proton-proton collision data collected at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The total data analyzed correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $. Models of excited quarks, excited heavy quark flavors, and quantum black holes are considered. The invariant mass spectrum of the $ \gamma+ $jet system is searched for resonances over the standard model continuum background. In the absence of any observed deviation from expected standard model backgrounds, exclusion limits on mass of resonance and other parameters are set. Excited quarks are excluded up to a mass of 6.0 TeV and excited heavy flavor quarks up to 2.2 TeV. Quantum black hole signal production is excluded up to 7.5 TeV and 5.2 TeV for the Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali and Randall-Sundrum models.
