Description
A search is presented for resonances decaying to a Z boson and a photon.
The analysis is based on data from proton-proton collisions at a
center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated
luminosity of 35.9 fb-1, and collected with the CMS detector
at the LHC in 2016. Two decay modes of the Z boson are investigated. In
the leptonic channels, the Z boson candidates are reconstructed using
electron or muon pairs. In the hadronic channels, they are identified
using a large-radius jet, containing either light-quark or b quark decay
products of the Z boson, via jet substructure and advanced b quark
tagging techniques. The results from these channels are combined and
interpreted in terms of upper limits on the product of the production
cross section and the branching fraction to Zγ for narrow and
broad spin-0 resonances with masses between 0.35 and 4.0 TeV, providing
thereby the most stringent limits on such resonances.
