Abstract: The discovery of the Higgs boson has led to new possible signatures for heavy resonance searches at the LHC. Since then, search channels including at least one Higgs boson plus another particle have formed an important part of the program of new physics searches. In this report, the status of these searches by the CMS Collaboration is reviewed. Searches are discussed for resonances decaying to two Higgs bosons, a Higgs and a vector boson, or a Higgs boson and another new resonance, with proton-proton collision data collected at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV in the years 2016-2018. A combination of the results of these searches is presented together with constraints on different beyond-the-standard model scenarios, including scenarios with extended Higgs sectors, heavy vector bosons and extra dimensions. Studies are shown for the first time by CMS on the validity of the narrow-width approximation in searches for the resonant production of a pair of Higgs bosons. The potential for a discovery at the High Luminosity LHC is also discussed. | ||

In the lower part of the figure, a comparison of the region excluded by the combined likelihood analysis shown in the upper part of the figure with selected results from other searches for the production of heavy scalar bosons in the $ M^{125}_{\text{h,EFT}} $ scenario, in $ \tau\tau $ [64], $ \mathrm{t} \overline{\mathrm{t}} $ [169] and WW [170] decays is shown. Also shown, are the results from one representative search for $ {\mathrm{A}}\to\mathrm{Z}\mathrm{H} $ [107]. The parameter region in which the mass of the lightest MSSM Higgs boson does not coincide with 125 GeV within a 3 GeV margin is indicated by the dark hatched area. Results not marked by a club symbol are based on an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. |

In each case observed and expected exclusion contours at 95% CL, in the plane defined by $ \cos(\beta-\alpha) $ and $ \tan\beta $, are shown. The excluded regions are represented by the shaded gray areas. The 68 and 95% central intervals of the expected exclusion contours in the absence of a signal are indicated by the green and yellow bands. Contours are derived from the projection on the corresponding 2HDM parameter space for $ m_{{\mathrm{A}}} = $ 300 GeV. The regions of parameter space where the natural width of the $ {\mathrm{A}} $ boson $ \Gamma_{\mathrm{A}} $ is comparable to or larger than the experimental resolution and thus the narrow-width approximation is not valid are represented by hatched gray areas.

[109,110,111] discussed in this report and the VV channels of Refs.[109,111,197,196], as well as results from dijet [201], $ \mathrm{t}\mathrm{b} $ [199], as well as results from dijet [201], $ \mathrm{t}\mathrm{b} $ [199], $ \ell\ell $ [198] and $ \ell\nu $ [200] final states. Excluded areas are indicated by the direction of the shading along the exclusion contours. The dotted lines denote coupling values above which the relative width of the resonance, $ \Gamma_{\mathrm{V}^{\prime}}/m_{V^{\prime}} $, exceeds 4 and 10%, respectively, implying that the narrow width approximation no longer applies. The couplings corresponding to the heavy vector triplet models A and B are indicated by cross markers. |

Summary |
The analyses searching for the production of the Higgs (H) boson through decays of heavy resonances, performed by the CMS Collaboration using the Run 2 data set, are reviewed. This review covers final states with two bosons with at least one an H boson, namely an H boson and a vector boson (VH), a pair of H bosons (HH), and an H boson joined by a new boson Y (YH), where V represents a W or a Z boson. The analyses cover a wide range of H boson decay modes, in particular, decays into photons, b quarks, $ \tau $ leptons, and W bosons. The Y boson is exclusively searched for in b quark final states. Topologies involving both resolved and merged jet objects are used to cover a wide range of the phase space. Multivariate methods are employed in various ways to improve the performance. The results are presented as summary plots which show the sensitivity of all channels in direct comparison. For the HH and YH final states, the results obtained by combining all decay channels are presented for the first time. The results are interpreted in the context of relevant beyond-the-standard model scenarios for resonances decaying into VH, HH and YH final states. These include various extended Higgs sector models, warped extra-dimension models, and heavy vector triplet models. The results from resonant H boson production searches are compared with results from searches in other channels. While all presented analyses assume the validity of the narrow-width approximation, a dedicated study of the impact of finite width and interference is performed for the first time in CMS for the real singlet extension of the standard model. This study shows the modification of the HH cross section and line shape in regions of the parameter space where the narrow-width approximation is not valid anymore. The expected sensitivity of the analyses in the HH and YH final states is estimated for future data sets with integrated luminosities of 300, 1000, and 3000 fb$ ^{-1} $, the last number corresponding to the baseline scenario of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) over its full lifetime. The expected upper limits for resonant HH production for the HL-LHC scenario range from about 50 fb at a resonance mass of 300 GeV to nearly 0.01 fb for masses of 3 TeV and above. The exclusions in terms of $ \tan\beta $ in the hMSSM and $ M^{125}_{\text{h,EFT}} $ scenarios are expanded by almost a factor of two compared to the Run 2 data set. This review shows how the specific strengths of many different experimental signatures can be combined to chart very thoroughly the territory where resonant Higgs boson production might reveal beyond the standard model physics, and gives a promising outlook towards the achievement potential of future measurements in this sector. |

The results are presented as a function of $ m_{\mathrm{X}} $ for six values of $ m_{{\mathrm{Y}}} $.
