@article{10902/13941, year = {2015}, month = {9}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/13941}, abstract = {A search for a narrow, high-mass resonance decaying into Z and Higgs (H) bosons is presented. The final state studied consists of a merged jet pair and a t pair resulting from the decays of Z and H bosons, respectively. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, collected with the CMS experiment in 2012, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1. In the resonance mass range of interest, which extends from 0.8 to 2.5 TeV, the Z and H bosons are produced with large momenta, which implies that the final products of the two quarks or the two t leptons must be detected within a small angular interval. From a combination of all possible decay modes of the t leptons, production cross sections in a range between 0.9 and 27.8 fb are excluded at 95 % confidence level, depending on the resonance mass.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, publisher = {Physics Letters B, Vol. 748, Pp. 255–277, 2015}, title = {Search for narrow high-mass resonances in proton–proton collisions at vs = 8 TeV decaying to a Z and a Higgs boson}, author = {Khachatryan, Vladimir and Brochero Cifuentes, Javier Andrés and Cabrillo Bartolomé, José Iban and Calderón Tazón, Alicia and Duarte Campderros, Jorge and Fernández García, Marcos and Gómez Gramuglio, Gervasio and Graziano, Alberto and López Virto, María Amparo and Marco de Lucas, Jesús and Marco de Lucas, Rafael José and Martínez Rivero, Celso and Matorras Weinig, Francisco and Muñoz Sánchez, Francisca Javiela and Piedra Gómez, Jonatan and Rodrigo Anoro, Teresa and Rodríguez Marrero, Ana Yaiza and Ruiz Jimeno, Alberto and Scodellaro, Luca and Vila Álvarez, Iván and Vilar Cortabitarte, Rocío}, }
