Searches for BSM physics in diphoton final state at CMS

Abstract

Many physics scenarios beyond the standard model predict the existence of heavy resonances decaying to diphotons. This note presents searches for BSM physics performed on 3:3 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment in 2015 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The interpretation of the search results focuses on spin-0 and spin-2 resonances in the mass range of 500 - 4500 GeV and with a relative width up to 5:6×10-2. The results of the search at 13 TeV is combined with similar searches of the CMS experiment at p s = 8 TeV with 19:7 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data.
