Search for a heavy resonance decaying to a top quark and a vector-like top quark in the lepton + jets final state in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV

A search is presented for a heavy spin-1 resonance Z decaying to a top quark and a vector-like top quark partner T in the lepton + jets final state. The search is performed using a data set of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1...
