Description
A search for a new resonance motivated by strong deviations in the production of multiple leptons at the EW scale is conducted. The analysis is part and parcel of the Madala hypothesis whereby a heavy-scalar `H' decays to two photons, which is necessary to study a resonance diphoton mass peak of this scale. The analysis final state is therefore characterized by two photons and $E_{\text{T}}^{\text{miss}}$ and the analysis categories are extrapolated to the $Z\gamma$+$E_{\text{T}}^{\text{miss}}$ search. A good measurement of $E_{\text{T}}^{\text{miss}}$ is important for numerous searches for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider. The performance of $E_{\text{T}}^{\text{miss}}$ for this high mass search is presented.
