Higgs Discovery & Searches• Following the discovery of a scalar boson Standard
Model (SM) is complete (but for an axion) and self-consistent
• A lot of questions still need answers:– Why is Higgs light?– What is dark matter? – How to accommodate gravity?– Why are there three generations? – …– Is there a theory which answers all our questions?
• We are looking for something – we do not know what – neither where to look – nor if there is any chance of finding it…
Does it remind you of something?2T. Berger-Hryn'ova Moriond QCD 2014

How do we search
Approach 1• Pick a Theory• Pick a model• Look at various production/decay modesof new states! (model-independently)
Approach 2Pick a final state & look(model-independently)
Get lucky!It sounds like a quest
Go there- I don’t know where,
Bring that – I don’t know what

Interesting Signatures:• Dibosons• /W/Z+jet(s)• Di/Tri-jet• Dileptons (ll, )etc…

Effect on limits from Signal Shapes
T. Berger-Hryn'ova Moriond QCD 2014 8
• Increased fraction of the off-shell production for the signal events (“parton-luminosity tail”) as the kinematic production limit is approached • size increases with the resonance width. • Noticeable impact of this tail on cross-section limit values when >5-10% of events in the tail
This affects most of the limits (q*, Z’ etc)!

Effect on limits from Signal Shapes
T. Berger-Hryn'ova Moriond QCD 2014 9
• For thresholds or resonances with suppressed low-mass contributions (Z*) “parton-luminosity tail” effect is not present
• It is also not present it the resonance shape is input “by hand”, e.g. assuming a Gaussian or Breit-Wigner of certain width, instead of using shape from simulation

+jet limits:width effects
T. Berger-Hryn'ova Moriond QCD 2014 10
Width assumptions matter at low masses: smaller width = better limits
Also parton luminosity tail is larger for wider resonances, which leads to worse limits

Dilepton Resonant Search Results
Limits @ 95% CL are: M(Z’SSM) > 2.96 TeV (CMS) & 2.8 TeV (ATLAS)
M(Z’)>2.60 TeV (CMS) & 2.38 TeV (ATLAS)
Those assumptions affect the final results, making limits not comparable directly: effects of parton luminosity tail visible
