Description

Several BSM predicted particles could give rise to resonant particle pair production. We will present the results of a search for prompt low-mass dimuon resonances based on proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by CMS. The search exploits a high-rate trigger ("scouting") stream to record events with two muons and looks for narrow peaks in the dimuon mass spectrum below 10 GeV.
