Description

Searches for new resonances in di-boson (VV, VH, HH, where V = W, Z) and tri-boson final states, with the CMS detector are presented. The analyses are optimised for high sensitivity over a large range in resonance mass. Jet substructure techniques are used to identify hadronic decays of highly-boosted W, Z, and H bosons. A statistical combination of these searches provides the most stringent constraints on heavy vector bosons with large couplings to standard model bosons and fermions.
