Search for high-mass resonances in final states with a lepton and missing transverse momentum at √s=13 TeV
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, corr...

| Summary: | 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.
The best limit, from the combination of electron and muon channels, is 5.2 TeV at 95%
confidence level for the mass of a W0 boson with the same couplings as those of the standard
model W boson. Exclusion limits of 2.9 TeV are set on the inverse radius of the extra dimension
in the framework of split universal extra dimensions. In addition, model-independent
limits are set on the production cross section and coupling strength of W0 bosons decaying
into this final state. An interpretation is also made in the context of an R parity violating
supersymmetric model with a slepton as a mediator and flavor violating decay. |
