SUMMARY:Search for W’ Boson Resonances Decaying into a Top Quark and a Bo
	ttom Quark in the Leptonic Final State at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV with the CMS Det
	ector
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Dylan Rankin\n\nPart of the Departmental Seminars.\n\
	nDissertation Committee:  Tulika Bose\, Kevin Black\, Shyam Erramilli\, Ema
	nuel Katz\, James Rohlf\n\nAbstract:\n\nAlthough the discovery of the Higgs
	 boson in 2012 was a very exciting moment for high energy physics\, there a
	re still a range of questions that remain unanswered\, such as the heirarch
	y problem.\nMany theories of new physics which seek to answer these questio
	ns postulate the existence of new particles.\nWith the start of Run 2 at th
	e Large Hadron Collider at CERN\, the record setting center-of-mass energy 
	of 13 TeV has helped to improve our ability to explore these new physics mo
	dels.\nIn this talk\, I will present a search for heavy right-handed resona
	nces decaying to a top and bottom quark\, performed using 2.2/fb of data co
	llected by the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment in 2015.\n\nNo significant 
	excess of events with respect to the predicted Standard Model backgrounds i
	s observed\, and resonance masses less than 2.38 TeV are excluded.\nThis th
	e most stringent exclusion to date in this channel\, and the first search i
	n the channel performed at 13 TeV.\n\n\n![Dylan](/resources/event-image/154
