Abstract

We present a search for heavy resonances decaying to a top quarkantiquark pair with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector in pp collisions at √s = 8TeV. The analysis is performed in the semileptonic channel and corresponds to the combination of two dedicated searches, one designed for the reconstruction of top decays with well-separated decay products, the other optimized to probe the production of two high-pT top quarks, whose decay can potentially lead to the presence of merged jets and non-isolated leptons at the reconstruction level. No excess is observed in data with respect to the background expectation and 95% CL limits are set on the production cross section of resonances in the mass range from 500 GeV/c2 to 3TeV/c2 for several benchmark models.
