Abstract

A search for narrow resonances in dimuon invariant mass spectra has been performed using 13 fb-1 data obtained in 2016 from proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC. No evidence for physics beyond standard model is found. Limits on the production cross section and the masses of hypothetical particles that could appear in the scenarios of new physics have been set.

Highlights

  • The CMS physics research programme on the detection of new physics beyond the standard model (SM) is aimed at detecting deviations from SM predictions in various channels [1]

  • Limits on the production cross section and the masses of hypothetical particles that could appear in the scenarios of new physics have been set

  • The CMS searches signals from new physical objects and phenomena predicted by supersymmetric models [2], models of the extended gauge sector [3], models of technicolor [4], scenarios of extra-dimensions theories [5], and to solve the hierarchy problems [6, 7] and many others

Summary

Introduction

The CMS physics research programme on the detection of new physics beyond the standard model (SM) is aimed at detecting deviations from SM predictions in various channels [1]. The CMS searches signals from new physical objects and phenomena predicted by supersymmetric models [2], models of the extended gauge sector [3], models of technicolor [4], scenarios of extra-dimensions theories [5], and to solve the hierarchy problems [6, 7] (fine tuning of SM) and many others. The variety of new particles and phenomena predicted by these models requires the use of a wide range of experimental studies in various channels: Heavy resonance states and nonresonant signals in the spectrum of pairs of leptons, jets, photons, top quarks, gauge bosons to search for new heavy gauge bosons Z [3], Kaluza-Klein excited states of the graviton [8], technicolor particles [4], etc.
