Description

A search is performed for a heavy resonance decaying to two long-lived massive neutral particles that each decay to dileptons. The process is detected experimentally via a distinct topological signature consisting of a pair of oppositely charged leptons originating at a vertex significantly displaced from the LHC beam spot. This talk will summarise the results of the search conducted on data collected by the CMS detector at the LHC during pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. An updated search using data collected at sqrt(8) TeV is underway and results are expected soon.
