| Search for ${\text{t}\overline{\text{t}}}$ resonances at the HL-LHC and HE-LHC with the Phase-2 CMS detector | ||
| CMS Collaboration | ||
| November 2018 | ||
| Abstract: A search for a heavy resonance decaying into a ${\text{t}\overline{\text{t}}}$ pair is presented using the upgraded Phase-2 CMS detector design at the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and High-Energy LHC (HE-LHC), with center-of-mass energies of 14 and 27 TeV, respectively, and integrated luminosities of 3 and 15 ab$^{-1}$. Two distinct final states with either a single lepton or no leptons are considered. Jet substructure techniques and top quark identification algorithms are used for the object reconstruction. At the HL-LHC (HE-LHC), the production of a Randall-Sundrum gluon can be excluded at 95% confidence level with a mass up to 6.6 (10.7) TeV or can be discovered at 5$\sigma$ significance with a mass up to 5.7 (9.4) TeV. | ||

| Summary |
| We have presented a sensitivity projection for heavy resonant $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ pair production using the upgraded Phase-2 CMS detector design at the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and High-Energy LHC (HE-LHC), with center-of-mass energies of 14 and 27 TeV and integrated luminosities of 3 and 15 ab$^{-1}$. Two distinct final states, single-lepton or fully hadronic, are considered. We set limits on the production cross sections of a Randall-Sundrum gluon and exclude masses up to 6.6 (10.7) TeV at 95% confidence level at the HL-LHC (HE-LHC). The Randall-Sundrum gluon with a mass up to 5.7 (9.4) TeV can be discovered with 5$\sigma$ significance at the HL-LHC (HE-LHC). |
