Description
The CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider has measured events
with two energetic jets and searched for dijet resonances, signals of new
physics beyond the standard model. The coupling of the resonance to jets
determines whether it has a natural width that is narrow or broad when
compared to the experimental resolution. I will present a search for narrow
dijet resonances and compare with the predictions of multiple
models of new physics, including a mediator of interactions between
quarks and dark matter. I will also present a search for broad dijet resonances
and discuss the implications for the value of the coupling of a dark matter
mediator to quarks.
