Description
A variety of new physics models predict heavy resonances that decay to multiple hadronic jets. These models include axigluons, colorons, diquarks, excited quarks, Randall-Sundrum gravitons, string resonances, and Z' models, among others. Using the data collected in 2012 at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, the CMS collaboration has searched for such resonances that decay to two or more hadronic jets, and the results of these searches will be presented. No evidence of new physics has been observed, and these results set new limits on the parameters of these models.
