Descripción
A statistical combination of searches is presented for massive
resonances decaying to WW, WZ, ZZ, WH, and ZH boson pairs in
proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC.
The data were taken at centre-of-mass energies of 8 and 13 TeV,
corresponding to respective integrated luminosities of 19.7 and up to
2.7 fb-1. The results are interpreted in the context of heavy
vector triplet and singlet models that mimic properties of
composite-Higgs models predicting W‧ and Z‧ bosons decaying
to WZ, WW, WH, and ZH bosons. A model with a bulk graviton that decays
into WW and ZZ is also considered. This is the first combined search for
WW, WZ, WH, and ZH resonances and yields lower limits on masses at 95%
confidence level for W‧ and Z‧ singlets at 2.3 TeV, and for
a triplet at 2.4 TeV. The limits on the production cross section of a
narrow bulk graviton resonance with the curvature scale of the warped
extra dimension k ˜ = 0.5, in the mass range of 0.6 to 4.0 TeV,
are the most stringent published to date.
