Exclusion of heavy, broad resonances from precise measurements of WZ and VH final states at the LHC

Abstract A novel search for heavy vector resonances in the $$H\rightarrow b{\bar{b}}$$ H→bb¯ and $$Z\rightarrow b{\bar{b}}$$ Z→bb¯ final states in association with a leptonically decaying V (Z or W) and W-only respectively, is proposed. It is argued that excesses with respect to the Standard Model p...
