Abstract

A search for physics beyond the standard model in the final state with two same-flavour leptons (electrons or muons) and two quarks produced in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV is presented. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1. The observations are in good agreement with the standard model background prediction. The results of the measurement are interpreted in the framework of a recently proposed model in which a heavy Majorana neutrino, N, stems from a composite-fermion scenario. Exclusion limits are set on the mass of the heavy composite Majorana neutrino, mN , and the compositness scale Λ. For the case mN = Λ, the existence of Ne is excluded for masses up to 4.60 TeV and the existence of Nμ is excluded for masses up to 4.70 TeV at 95% confidence level.
