 2018-04-2414:31 [PUBDB-2018-01843] Preprint/Report et al Search for ZZ resonances in the 2$\ell$2$\nu$ final state in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV [CMS-B2G-16-023; CERN-EP-2017-279; arXiv:1711.04370] Journal of high energy physics 1803(03), 003 (2018) [10.1007/JHEP03(2018)003]   A search for heavy resonances decaying to a pair of Z bosons is performed using data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Events are selected by requiring two oppositely charged leptons (electrons or muons), consistent with the decay of a Z boson, and large missing transverse momentum, which is interpreted as arising from the decay of a second Z boson to two neutrinos.

In addition, kinematic variables and multiplicities of jets associated with the $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ production are measured.

We evaluate the master integrals applying a new method based on differential equations for general bases, which is applicable for all first order factorizing systems.

The analysis is sensitive to resonances with masses in the range from 400 to 4500 GeV.

The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data, collected by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC in 2016 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$.

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 analysis is based on proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.

The analysis is based on data collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV during the 2016 LHC running period, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.6 fb$^{-1}$.

The performance of the modified system is studied using proton-proton collision data at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV, collected at the LHC in 2015 and 2016.
