Combination of CMS searches for heavy resonances decaying to pairs of bosons or leptons

Understand

A statistical combination of searches for heavy resonances decaying to pairs of bosons or leptons is presented.

• The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ collected during 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.
• The data are found to be consistent with expectations from the standard model background.
• Exclusion limits are set in the context of models of spin-1 heavy vector triplets and of spin-2 bulk gravitons.
