Search for massive resonances decaying into pairs of boosted bosons in semi-leptonic final states at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

Understand

A search for new resonances decaying to WW, ZZ, or WZ is presented.

• Final states are considered in which one of the vector bosons decays leptonically and the other hadronically.
• Results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns recorded in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC.
• Techniques aiming at identifying jet substructures are used to analyze signal events in which the hadronization products from the decay of highly boosted W or Z bosons are contained within a single reconstructed jet.
