Description

Collider limits on new narrow resonances often reference specific new models, making it difficult to draw general conclusions. In this talk we discuss simplified limits which allow collider results to be displayed in a way which allows constraints on different models to be easily derived from experimental data. We show examples from recent searches for diboson and diphoton resonances at the LHC.
