Abstract
The search for new physics at the TeV scale is one of the major aspects of the CMS experimental program. This includes a myriad of theoretical models involving resonances that can decay to massive bosons, leptons or jets. An overview of such analyses is presented in this paper as well as the novel dedicated techniques related to the specificity of the event topologies. All analyses presented here use the full 2012 dataset, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of ∼ 20 fb−1 recorded in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC.
Highlights
The recent discovery by the ATLAS and Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Collaborations [1, 2, 3] of a particle compatible with the Standard Model (SM) predictions for the Higgs boson enhanced our understanding of the electroweak symmetry (EW) breaking mechanism
Many theoretical extensions of the SM (BSM theories) predict the existence of new gauge bosons or KK excitations of the graviton that could manifest at the TeV scale
Such resonances would appear as a peak over a continous background coming from the SM processes
