Search for a resonance decaying to a W boson and a photon in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV using leptonic W boson decays
Abstract: A search for a new charged particle X with mass between 0.3-2.0 TeV decaying to a W boson and a photon using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $ is presented. The search is performed using the electron and muon decays of the W boson. No significant excess above the predicted background is observed. The upper limit at the 95% confidence level on the product of the X production cross section and its branching fraction to a W boson and a photon is found to be 94 (137) fb for a 0.3 TeV resonance and 0.75 (0.81) fb for a 2.0 TeV resonance, for an X width to mass ratio of 0.01% (5%).
