Search for high-mass resonances in final states with a lepton and missing transverse momentum at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV

Understand

A search for new high-mass resonances in proton-proton collisions having final states with an electron or muon and missing transverse momentum is presented.

• The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected in 2016 with the CMS detector at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$.
• The transverse mass distribution of the charged lepton-neutrino system is used as the discriminating variable.
• No significant deviation from the standard model prediction is found.
