| Abstract: A search for heavy resonances with masses above 1 TeV, decaying to final states containing a vector boson and a Higgs boson, is presented. The search considers hadronic decays of the vector boson, and Higgs boson decays to b quarks. The decay products are highly boosted, and each collimated pair of quarks is reconstructed as a single, massive jet. The analysis is performed using a data sample collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The data are consistent with the background expectation and are used to place limits on the parameters of a theoretical model with a heavy vector triplet. In the benchmark scenario with mass-degenerate W' and Z' bosons decaying predominantly to pairs of standard model bosons, for the first time heavy resonances for masses as high as 3.3 TeV are excluded at 95% confidence level, setting the most stringent limit to date on such states decaying into a vector boson and a Higgs boson. | ||

Figure 7:
Observed exclusion in the HVT parameter plane $\left [ {g_\text {V}} {c_\text {H}}, \ g^2 {c_\text {F}} / {g_\text {V}} \right ]$ for three different resonance masses (1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 TeV). The parameter $ {g_\text {V}} $ represents the coupling strength of the new interaction, $ {c_\text {H}} $ the coupling between the HVT bosons and the Higgs boson and longitudinally polarized SM vector bosons, and $ {c_\text {F}} $ the coupling between the heavy vector bosons and the SM fermions. The benchmark scenarios corresponding to HVT modelA and modelB are represented by a purple cross and a red point. The gray shaded areas correspond to the region where the resonance natural width is predicted to be larger than the typical experimental resolution (4%) and thus the narrow-width approximation does not apply. |
| Summary |
| A search for a heavy resonance with a mass above 1 TeV and decaying into a vector boson and a Higgs boson, has been presented. The search is based on the final states associated with the hadronic decay modes of the vector boson and the decay mode of the Higgs boson to a $ \mathrm{ b \bar{b} } $ pair. The data sample was collected by the CMS experiment at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV during 2016, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. Within the framework of the heavy vector triplet model, mass-dependent upper limits in the range 0.9-90 fb are set on the product of the cross section for production of a narrow spin-1 resonance and the combined branching fraction for its decay to a vector boson and a Higgs boson decaying into a pair of b quarks. Compared to previous measurements, the range of resonance masses excluded within the framework of benchmark model B of the heavy vector triplet model is extended substantially to values as high as 3.3 TeV. More generally, the results lead to a significant reduction in the allowed parameter space for heavy vector triplet models. |
