Search for Z$\gamma$ resonances using leptonic and hadronic final states in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV

Understand

A search is presented for resonances decaying to a Z boson and a photon.

• The analysis is based on data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$, and collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016.
• Two decay modes of the Z boson are investigated.
• In the leptonic channels, the Z boson candidates are reconstructed using electron or muon pairs.
