Search for New Resonances Decaying To a W or Z Boson and a Higgs Boson in the L(+)l(-)b(b)over L Nu B(b)over-Bar, and Nu(nu)over-Barb(b)over Channels With Pp Collisions at Root S=13 Tev With the Atlas Detector

Abstract

A search is presented for new resonances decaying to a W or Z boson and a Higgs boson in the l(+)l(-)b (b) over bar, l nu b (b) over bar, and nu(nu) over barb (b) over bar channels in pp collisions at root s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider using a total integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb(-1). The search is conducted by looking for a localized excess in the WH/ZH invariant or transverse mass distribution. No significant excess is observed, and the results are interpreted in terms of constraints on a simplified model based on a phenomenological Lagrangian of heavy vector triplets.
