Searches for new heavy resonances in final states with leptons and photons at CMS

Abstract

Many models beyond the standard model, such as the Sequential Standard Model, Grand Unified Theories and Randall--Sundrum model of extra dimensions, predict resonances at the TeV energy scale. These resonances can decay to leptons and photons. Results on single lepton, dilepton and diphoton resonances resonances using 36fb$^{-1}$ or 41fb$^{-1}$ of 13 TeV proton-proton collisions produced at the LHC and recorded by the CMS experiment are presented.
