Search for heavy resonances decaying into a W or Z boson and a Higgs boson in final states with leptons and b-jets in 36 fb-1 of √s = 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector Aaboud, M. Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio Atlas Collaboration, / Beyond Standard Model Hadron-Hadron scattering (experiments) A search is conducted for new resonances decaying into a W or Z boson and a 125 GeV Higgs boson in the ννbb, l±νbb, and l+l-bb final states, where l± = e± or µ±, in pp collisions at √s = 13TeV. The data used correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb-1 collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider during the 2015 and 2016 data-taking periods. The search is conducted by examining the reconstructed invariant or transverse mass distributions of Wh and Zh candidates for evidence of a localised excess in the mass range of 220 GeV up to 5TeV. No significant excess is observed and the results are interpreted in terms of constraints on the production cross-section times branching fraction of heavy W' and Z' resonances in heavy-vector-triplet models and the CP-odd scalar boson A in two-Higgs-doublet models. Upper limits are placed at the 95% confidence level and range between 9.0 × 10-4 pb and 7.3 × 10-1 pb depending on the model and mass of the resonance. 2024-10-10T11:02:49Z 2024-10-10T11:02:49Z 2018-03-28 journal article The ATLAS collaboration., Aaboud, M., Aad, G. et al.
