Description
A search for heavy resonances with masses above 1 {TeV}, decaying to
final states containing a vector boson and a Higgs boson, is presented.
The search considers hadronic decays of the vector boson, and Higgs
boson decays to b quarks. The decay products are highly boosted, and
each collimated pair of quarks is reconstructed as a single, massive
jet. The analysis is performed using a data sample collected in 2016 by
the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a
center-of-mass energy of 13 {TeV}, corresponding to an integrated
luminosity of 35.9 {fb}^{-1}. The data are consistent with the
background expectation and are used to place limits on the parameters of
a theoretical model with a heavy vector triplet. In the benchmark
scenario with mass-degenerate W' and Z' bosons decaying
predominantly to pairs of standard model bosons, for the first time
heavy resonances for masses as high as 3.3 {TeV} are excluded at 95%
confidence level, setting the most stringent constraints to date on such
states decaying into a vector boson and a Higgs boson.
