Search for Z' resonances decaying to $ \mathrm{ t \bar{t} } $ in dilepton+jets final states in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV
Phys. Rev. D 87 (2013) 072002
Abstract: A search for resonances decaying to top quark-antiquark pairs is performed using a dilepton+jets data sample recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns. No significant deviations from the standard model background are observed. Upper limits are presented for the production cross section times branching fraction of top quark-antiquark resonances for masses from 750 to 3000 GeV. In particular, the existence of a leptophobic topcolor particle Z' is excluded at the 95% confidence level for resonance masses M[Z'] < 1.3 TeV for Gamma[Z'] = 0.012 M[Z'], and M[Z'] < 1.9 TeV for Gamma[Z'] = 0.10 M[Z'].
