Search for high-mass diphoton resonances in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV and combination with 8 TeV search

Understand

A search for the resonant production of high-mass photon pairs is presented.

• The search focuses on spin-0 and spin-2 resonances with masses between 0.5 and 4.5 TeV, and with a width, relative to the mass, between 1.4E-4 and 5.6E-2.
• The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 12.9 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collisions collected with the CMS detector in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.
• No significant excess is observed relative to the standard model expectation.
