Description
A search for the resonant production of high-mass photon pairs is
presented. The search focuses on spin-0 and spin-2 resonances with
masses between 0.5 and 4.5 TeV, and with widths, relative to the mass,
between 1.4 ×10-4 and 5.6 ×10-2. The
data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 12.9
fb-1 of proton-proton collisions collected with the CMS
detector in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. No significant
excess is observed relative to the standard model expectation. The
results of the search are combined statistically with those previously
obtained in 2012 and 2015 at √{ s} = 8 and 13 TeV, respectively,
corresponding to integrated luminosities of 19.7 and 3.3
fb-1, to derive exclusion limits on scalar resonances
produced through gluon-gluon fusion, and on Randall-Sundrum gravitons.
The lower mass limits for Randall-Sundrum gravitons range from 1.95 to
4.45 TeV for coupling parameters between 0.01 and 0.2. These are the
most stringent limits on Randall-Sundrum graviton production to date.
