SUMMARY:Search for Heavy Resonances Decaying to a Top Quark and a Bottom Qu
	ark in Proton-Proton Collisions at 13 TEV with the CMS Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Dylan Rankin\n\nPart of the PhD Final Oral Exams.\n\n
	Examining Committee:  Tulika Bose\, Kevin Black\, Emanuel Katz\, Shyam Erra
	milli\, James Rohlf\n \n\nSearches are presented for narrow heavy resonance
	s decaying to a top quark and a bottom quark using data collected by the CM
	S experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.\nFinal states that inclu
	de a single lepton (electron\, muon)\, multiple jets\, and missing transver
	se momentum are analyzed.\nNo evidence is found for the production of a W' 
	boson\, and the production of right-handed W' bosons is excluded at 95% con
	fidence level for masses up to 3.6 TeV depending on the scenario considered
	.\nExclusion limits for W' bosons are also presented as a function of their
	 coupling strength to left- and right-handed fermions.\nThese limits on a W
	' boson decaying via a top and a bottom quark are the most stringent publis
	hed to date.\nProjections for future searches with an integrated luminosity
	 of up to 3 inverse attobarns are also presented\, and suggest that W' boso
	n masses above 4 TeV could be excluded
