Description

Many Beyond Standard Model theories foresee the existence of heavy
resonances (>1 TeV) decaying in final states that include a high-energetic,
boosted jet and charged leptons or neutrinos. In these very peculiar
conditions, Monte Carlo predictions are not reliable enough to reproduce
accurately the expected Standard Model background. A data-Monte Carlo hybrid
approach (alpha method) has been successfully adopted since Run1 in
heavy-Higgs searches performed by CMS collaboration. By taking advantage
of data in signal-free control regions, determined exploiting the boosted
jet substructure, predictions are extracted in signal region. The alpha
method and jet substructure techniques are described in detail, along
with some recent results obtained with 2016 data collected by CMS
detector.
