abstract = {A search for a new scalar resonance decaying to a pair of Z
bosons is performed in the mass range from 130 GeV to 3 TeV,
and for various width scenarios. 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
Z boson pair decays are reconstructed using the 4$\ell$,
2$\ell$2q, and 2$\ell$2$\nu$ final states, where $\ell =$ e
or $\mu$. Both gluon fusion and electroweak production of
the scalar resonance are considered, with a free parameter
describing their relative cross sections. A dedicated
categorization of events, based on the kinematic properties
of associated jets, and matrix element techniques are
employed for an optimal signal and background separation. A
description of the interference between signal and
background amplitudes for a resonance of an arbitrary width
is included. No significant excess of events with respect to
the standard model expectation is observed and limits are
set on the product of the cross section for a new scalar
boson and the branching fraction for its decay to ZZ for a
large range of masses and widths.},
