Description
This presentation will cover the searches for BSM resonances decaying to a scalar particle H and a standard model (SM) Z boson at the CMS experiment. These searches are one the most powerful probes of the two-Higgs-doublet models at the LHC, and are complementary to the searches for scalars decaying to SM Higgs bosons (h). One of the major differences with respect to the resonant hh/Sh searches is that the H scalar could be sufficiently heavy to open the decay channel to a top-antitop quark pair. Searches in the most sensitive Z and H decay channels are probed at the CMS experiment and presented in this talk.
