| Abstract: We report on a search for resonant production of high mass photon pairs. The search employs 12.9 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collision data collected by the CMS experiment in 2016 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. It is aimed at spin-0 and spin-2 resonances of mass between 0.5 and 4.5 TeV and width, relative to the mass, up to $ 5.6 \times 10^{-2} $. The results of the search are combined statistically with those previously obtained by the CMS collaboration at $\sqrt{s}= $ 8 and 13 TeV. Limits are set on scalar resonances produced through gluon-gluon fusion, and on Randall-Sundrum gravitons. No significant excess is observed over the standard model predictions. | ||

| Summary |
| A search for the resonant production of high mass photon pairs has been presented. The analysis is based on 12.9 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions collected by the CMS experiment in 2016 at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV. Events containing two photon candidates with transverse momenta above 75 GeV are selected. The mass spectrum above 500 GeV is inspected to search for the production of spin-0 and spin-2 resonances. Limits on the production of scalar resonances and Randall-Sundrum gravitons in the range where 0.5 TeV $ < m_{\mathrm{X}} < $ 4.5 TeV and $\Gamma_{\mathrm{X}}/m_{\mathrm{X}} < 5.6 \times 10^{-2}$ are set using the modified frequentist approach. The results obtained with the 2016 dataset are combined statistically with those obtained in Ref. [12] using data corresponding to 19.7 fb$^{-1}$ and 3.3 fb$^{-1}$ recorded at $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 and $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV respectively. No significant excess is observed above the predictions from the standard model. Using the LO cross sections from PYTHIA-8.2, RS gravitons with masses below 3.85 and 4.45 TeV are excluded for $\tilde{k} =$ 0.1 and 0.2 respectively. For $\tilde{k}=0.01$, graviton masses below 1.95 TeV are excluded, except for the region between 1.75 TeV and 1.85 TeV. These are, to-date, the most stringent limits on RS graviton production. |
