Description
Searches for resonances decaying to a pair of massive bosons, X->VV, are of importance for various models beyond the Standard Model, and received considerable interest in last years. This discussion summarizes the status of the most recent results at the LHC, in particular in the semileptonic final states. The presenters will address in detail the methods used to reconstruct boosted hadronically decaying vector bosons, and the differences between the analyses and results at the Atlas and CMS experiments.
