abstract

A search is performed for narrow resonances decaying to final states of two jets, with at least one jet originating from a b quark, in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Jets originating from energetic b hadrons are identified through a b-tagging algorithm that utilizes a deep neural network or the presence of a muon inside a jet. The invariant mass spectrum of jet pairs is well described by a smooth parametrization and no evidence for the production of new particles is observed. Upper limits on the production cross section are set for excited b quarks and other resonances decaying to dijet final states containing b quarks. These limits exclude at 95% confidence level models of Z' bosons with masses from 1.8 to 2.4 TeV and of excited b quarks with masses from 1.8 to 4.0 TeV. This is the most stringent exclusion of excited b quarks to date.

  1. Combination of searches for heavy vector boson resonances in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A CMS combination of searches finds no heavy vector boson resonance and excludes HVT W′/Z′ bosons below 5.5 TeV (weak coupling), 4.8 TeV (strong coupling), and 2.0 TeV for VBF production at 95% CL.

  2. Search for the nonresonant and resonant production of a Higgs boson in association with an additional scalar boson in the $\gamma\gamma\tau\tau$ final state in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    CMS finds no evidence for Higgs-pair or new-scalar production in the two-photon plus two-tau final state and sets new upper limits on these processes.

  3. The Higgs boson decay $h \rightarrow bs$ in the NB-LSSM

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Under B̄ o Xsγ constraints, NB-LSSM parameters can raise Br(h o bs) to ~10^{-5}, orders of magnitude above the SM, while remaining consistent with Higgs mass and signal strengths.

  4. Search for a new neutral gauge boson produced in association with one or two b jets and decaying into a pair of muons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2025-11 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    No Z' boson decaying to muon pairs and produced with b jets appears in 138 fb⁻¹ of CMS data, yielding first 95% CL limits of 0.2–2 fb on σ×B×A×ε across 125–350 GeV.
