Description

We show that a pure resonance dip signal can arise in general due to imaginary interference term in a invariant mass distribution of heavy resonance search. The necessary and sufficient condition in which the pure resonance dip signal arises is described by two parameters $w/R$ and $\phi$, where $w$ is ratio of decay width to heavy resonance mass, $R$ and $\phi$ are relative signal strength and phase between the SM and new physics. We show that the pure resonance dip condition can be realized in heavy Higgses decays into $\gamma\gamma, ZZ$ and $t{\bar t}$ within 2HDM after they are produced via gluon fusion process. In addition, we discuss not only the pure resonance dip signal, several distinctive resonance shapes are also solely determined by $w/R$ and $\phi$. Those resonance shapes play important role for interpreting the observed resonance search data with provided invariant mass resolution.
