| Abstract: The results of a search for a new resonance decaying into two photons are presented for a diphoton invariant mass in the range between 70 and 110 GeV. The analysis uses the entire dataset collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions during the 2012 and 2016 LHC running periods. The data samples correspond to integrated luminosities of 19.7 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}= $ 8 TeV and 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV. The expected and observed 95% confidence level upper limits on the product of the cross section times branching ratio into two photons are presented. No significant excess with respect to the expected limits is observed. The observed upper limit for the 2012 (2016) dataset ranges from approximately 133 (161) fb at the mass hypothesis of 91.1 (89.9) GeV to 31 (26) fb at a mass of 102.8 (103.0) GeV. The statistical combination of the results from the analysis of the two datasets in the mass range between 80 and 110 GeV yields a minimum (maximum) observed upper limit on the production cross section times branching ratio normalized to the Standard Model-like expectation of approximately 0.17 (1.15) corresponding to a mass hypothesis of 103.0 (90.0) GeV. | ||

| Summary |
| A search for new low-mass resonances decaying to two photons has been presented. It is based upon data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of 19.7 fb$^{-1}$ and 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ collected respectively at center-of-mass energies of 8 TeV in 2012 and 13 TeV in 2016. The search is performed in a mass range between 70 and 110 GeV. The expected and observed 95% confidence level upper limits on the product of the cross section times branching ratio into two photons for a second Higgs boson as well as the expected and observed local p-values are presented. No significant excess with respect to the expected limits is observed. For the 8 TeV dataset, the minimum(maximum) observed upper limit on the production cross section times branching ratio is approximately 31(133) fb corresponding to a mass hypothesis of 102.8(91.1) GeV. For the 13 TeV dataset, the minimum(maximum) observed upper limits are 26(161) fb corresponding to a mass hypothesis of 103.0(89.9) GeV. The statistical combination of the results from the analysis of the two datasets in the mass range between 80 and 110 GeV yields a minimum(maximum) observed upper limit on the production cross section times branching ratio normalized to the SM-like expectation of approximately 0.17 (1.15) corresponding to a mass hypothesis of 103.0(90.0) GeV. In the case of the 8 TeV dataset, one excess with approximately 2.0$\sigma$ local significance is observed for an hypothesis mass of 97.6 GeV. For the 13 TeV dataset, one excess with approximately 2.9$\sigma$ local (1.47$\sigma$ global) significance is observed for an hypothesis mass of 95.3 GeV. When combined statistically, these yield an excess with approximately 2.8$\sigma$ local (1.3$\sigma$ global) significance for the same hypothesis mass as for the 13 TeV dataset alone, 95.3 GeV. More data are required to ascertain the origin of this excess. These are the first LHC results to appear for a search for new resonances in the diphoton final state in this mass range, which include analysis of data at the center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. |
