Abstract: A search for a heavy right-handed W boson (WR) decaying to a heavy
right-handed neutrino and a charged lepton in events with two same-flavor leptons (e or µ) and two jets, is presented. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data, collected by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC in 2016 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity
of 35.9 fb−1. No significant excess above the standard model expectation is seen in the
invariant mass distribution of the dilepton plus dijet system. Assuming that couplings
are identical to those of the standard model, and that only one heavy neutrino flavor NR
contributes significantly to the WR decay width, the region in the two-dimensional (mWR,
mNR) mass plane excluded at 95% confidence level extends to approximately mWR =
4.4 TeV and covers a large range of right-handed neutrino masses below the WR boson
mass. This analysis provides the most stringent limits on the WR mass to date.

Heavy partners of the standard model (SM) gauge bosons, that are coupled to right-handed
fermions, are predicted in left-right (LR) symmetric models [1–4]. These models explain the
parity violation observed in weak interactions as the consequence of spontaneous symmetry breaking at a multi-TeV mass scale. This paper describes a search for such a heavy partner,
a heavy right-handed gauge boson WR, in events with two same-flavor leptons (e or µ) and
two jets. The study was conducted by the CMS Collaboration at the CERN LHC, using
proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1recorded
during the 2016 data taking period.
The right-handed bosons are assumed to interact with the SM particles with a coupling
strength gR. This is a free parameter in most LR models, but we assume a strict LR
symmetry in our search so that the coupling constant gR is the same as the SM coupling
constant gL. We also assume that the right-handed quark mixing matrix is the same as the
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. In addition to the gauge bosons, LR models usually
include heavy right-handed neutrinos (NR) [5, 6]. The existence of these heavy neutrinos
can explain the very small masses of the SM neutrinos as a consequence of the see-saw mechanism [7–9].
In this search, we consider the case in which the WR boson decays to a first- or
JHEP05(2018)148
heavy neutrino further decays to another charged lepton of the same flavor and a virtual
W∗R. The virtual WR∗ decays to two light quarks, producing the decay chain
WR → `NR→ ``W∗R→ ``qq
0, ` = e or µ.
The quarks hadronize into jets that can be observed by the CMS detector. The lepton flavor is conserved, and there is no charge requirement on the leptons, which can be opposite-sign or same-sign. The SM processes that have the same final state of two same-flavor leptons and two jets include Drell-Yan production of lepton pairs with additional jets (DY+jets), tt production, tW from t-channel single top quark production, and diboson production (WZ, ZZ, WW) with jets. Contributions due to events with jets misidentified as leptons are considered, but are found to be negligible. The discriminating variable in this search
is the invariant mass m``jj constructed from the two leptons and two jets with the largest
transverse momenta. We search for an excess of events above the SM prediction for different
WR mass hypotheses in windows of m``jj.
A search for WR bosons that was performed by the CMS Collaboration at a
center-of-mass energy of √s = 8 TeV excluded WR masses up to approximately 3 TeV at 95%
confidence level (CL) [10]. An excess with a local significance of 2.8σ was observed in that
search in the electron channel at meejj≈ 2.1 TeV. The excess did not appear to be
consis-tent with signal events from the LR symmetric theory. The search presented in this paper
extends this previous search using data collected at √s = 13 TeV during 2016. It does not
overlap with other heavy neutrino searches previously carried out by the CMS
Collabora-tion [11–13]. The ATLAS Collaboration has also carried out similar searches [14–16].
2 The CMS detector
The central feature of the CMS apparatus is a superconducting solenoid of 6 m internal diameter, providing a magnetic field of 3.8 T. Within the solenoid volume are a silicon pixel and strip tracker, a lead tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL), and a brass and scintillator hadron calorimeter (HCAL), each composed of a barrel and two endcap sections. Forward calorimeters extend the pseudorapidity (η) coverage provided by the barrel and endcap detectors. Electrons are measured in the ECAL, while drift tubes, cathode strip chambers, and resistive-plate chambers embedded in the steel flux-return yoke outside the solenoid are used in the identification of muons. A more detailed description of the CMS detector, together with a definition of the coordinate system used
and the relevant kinematic variables, can be found in ref. [17].
3 Trigger, particle reconstruction, and event selection
Events of interest are selected online using a two-tiered trigger system [18]. The first level
is composed of custom hardware processors and uses information from the calorimeters and muon detectors to select events at a rate of around 100 kHz. The second level consists of a farm of processors running a version of the full event reconstruction software optimized for fast processing, and reduces the event rate to less than 1 kHz before data storage.
JHEP05(2018)148
The leptons in the final state carry a large fraction of the rest energy of the WR. Thus,
a trigger with a high momentum requirement on the lepton is highly efficient for our signal. For events with electrons, we use an unprescaled double-electron trigger. This trigger
re-quires a minimum transverse momentum (pT) of 33 GeV and an ECAL energy deposit with
a pixel hit on an associated track. For the muon channel, and for an auxiliary measurement that is used to estimate the tt background, we use unprescaled single-muon triggers that
have no isolation requirement and a pT> 50 GeV requirement applied to the muon.
Global event reconstruction is performed using the particle-flow algorithm [19], which
reconstructs and identifies each individual particle with an optimized combination of all subdetector information. At least one reconstructed vertex is required. For events with multiple collision vertices from additional collisions in the same or adjacent bunch crossings
(pileup interactions), the reconstructed vertex with the largest value of summed p2T in the
event, where the sum extends over all charged tracks associated with the vertex, is taken to be the primary pp interaction vertex (PV).
Electron candidates are identified by the association of a charged-particle track from the PV, with energy deposits clusters (superclusters) in the ECAL. The association takes into account energy deposits both from the electron and from bremsstrahlung photons pro-duced during its passage through the inner detector. The electron momentum is estimated by combining the energy measurement in the ECAL with the momentum measurement in the tracker. The experimental mass resolution for barrel-barrel (barrel-endcap) dielectron
pairs with a mass of 1 TeV is 1.0 (1.5)% [20]. To correct for observed discrepancies in
en-ergy scale and resolution between data and simulation, the measured electron enen-ergy is
adjusted by a multiplicative factor that depends on η and R9, where R9 is the ratio of the
energy in a 3×3 matrix of ECAL crystals, centered on the crystal with the largest energy, to the full energy collected by a supercluster. In addition, the electron energy in simulated events is smeared by 1–3% using a Gaussian expression that varies as a function of η and
R9 [20]. Differences in electron identification (ID) efficiency between data and simulation
were taken into account by applying a scale factor (SF) of 0.972 ± 0.006 (stat+syst) in the barrel and 0.983 ± 0.007 (stat+syst) in the endcaps.
Muons are reconstructed from tracker and muon chamber information. Each muon is required to have at least one hit in the pixel detector, at least six tracker layer hits, and segments in two or more muon detector stations. Muons are measured in the range
|η| < 2.4. The pT resolution in the barrel is better than 10% for muons with pT up to
1 TeV [21]. The muon momentum resolution in data is well described in simulated events,
with its uncertainty provided by a smearing of 1% in the barrel and 2% in the endcaps. The muon curvature distributions in data and simulation are compared for different ranges of η and azimuthal angle (φ, in radians), resulting in the assignment of a momentum scale uncertainty of 3% in the barrel and up to 9% in the endcaps. To account for differences in the reconstruction and identification efficiencies between data and simulation, η-dependent
SFs in the range 0.95–0.99 are applied to simulated events [21]. Systematic uncertainties
related to the dependence of the SFs on momentum are neglected, since they have an impact on the results of less than 1%.
JHEP05(2018)148
Charged hadrons are identified by matching tracks to one or more calorimeter clusters, and by the absence of signal in the muon detectors. The energies of charged hadrons are determined from combinations of the track momenta and the corresponding ECAL and HCAL energies, corrected for zero-suppression effects and for the response function of the calorimeters to hadronic showers.
Neutral hadrons are identified as ECAL and HCAL energy clusters that are not matched to charged particle trajectories. The energies of neutral hadrons are obtained from the corresponding corrected ECAL and HCAL energies.
For each event, hadronic jets are clustered from reconstructed particles with the
anti-kT algorithm, operated with a size parameter R of 0.4, where R ≡
√
(∆η)2+ (∆φ)2 [22,
23]. Charged hadrons that originate from pileup interactions are removed from the list of
reconstructed particles using the charged-hadron pileup subtraction algorithm [19]. The
contributions of neutral particles that originate from pileup interactions to the calorimeter
energies are removed by applying a residual average area-based correction [24]. The jet
momentum is defined as the vector sum of all particle momenta associated with the jet, and
is found to be within 5 to 10% of the true momentum in simulated events over the whole pT
spectrum and detector acceptance. Jet energy corrections are derived from the simulation, and are confirmed with in-situ measurements of the energy balance in dijet, multijet,
photon+jet, and leptonically decaying Z+jet events [25]. Jet identification algorithms [25]
also remove contributions to jets from calorimeter noise and beam halo.
To reconstruct WR candidates, we select the two leptons with the largest pT and the
two jets with the largest pT. The leading (subleading) leptons are required to have pT >
60 (53) GeV and to be within the detector acceptance (|η| < 2.4). Electrons are rejected if the supercluster lies in the range 1.444 < |η| < 1.566, which corresponds to the transition region between the barrel and endcap sections of the ECAL, where the performance is degraded. To suppress muons originating from hadron decays or pion punch-through in
jets, we remove muons for which the sum of the pT of additional tracks that originate from
the PV and that are inside a cone of R < 0.3 around the muon is more than 10% of the
muon pT. We also require electrons to be isolated, i.e., the sum of the pTof all tracks inside
a cone of R < 0.3 centered on the electron candidate, not associated with the electron and originating from the PV must be below 5 GeV. We use dedicated identification algorithms,
optimized for the selection of high-momentum leptons [20, 21]. The two jet candidates
must each have pT > 40 GeV and be within |η| < 2.4. To avoid having reconstructed
leptons overlap jets, we impose a ∆R > 0.4 requirement between all jets and leptons.
4 Signal model
We use several auxiliary data samples to estimate signal and background contributions to our search as well as to validate our event selection. We use Monte Carlo (MC) simula-tion in the calculasimula-tion of the signal efficiency and in the estimasimula-tion of some of the SM backgrounds. In these simulations, the response of the CMS detector is modeled using
JHEP05(2018)148
inelastic proton-proton interactions onto the primary hard scattering. The simulated dis-tribution of the number of pileup events is matched to that observed in the data.
For estimating the acceptance and efficiency for detecting WR bosons, simulated signal
samples of eejj and µµjj final states are generated assuming mNR = 1/2mWR, using the
pythia 8.212 program [27] with the NNPDF2.3 [28] parton distribution functions (PDFs).
Simulated signal samples with mNR 6= 1/2mWR, needed to estimate the 2D limits described
in section 6, are also generated using pythia 8.212.
We focus our search on a region of phase-space where the signal is expected to appear. This signal region applies to events with two leptons with the same flavor and two jets. The invariant mass of the dilepton system must be above 200 GeV, to avoid contamination
from resonant Z boson production. The m``jjmust be greater than 600 GeV to ensure that
all the kinematic requirements on the candidates are fully efficient. There is no charge requirement on the leptons, to ensure sensitivity to a wider class of models.
Using the selection requirements described above, the product of the acceptance and
efficiency for WR decays to the ``jj final state, increases from 30% at mWR = 1000 GeV to
57% for mWR > 3000 GeV in the electron channel, and similarly from 40 to 75% in the muon
channel. For both channels, the signal efficiency reaches a plateau at mWR = 3000 GeV.
The efficiency for electron events is lower than the muon event efficiency because of dif-ferences between the selection requirements, and because of the omission of the transition regions between the ECAL barrel and endcaps in the case of electrons.
5 Background estimation
Standard model processes that produce events with the same final-state particles as the signal model include DY production of lepton pairs with additional jets in the final state, and tt and diboson production. The DY+jets and tt production are irreducible back-ground processes that comprise most of the backback-ground events in the signal region. The contribution from diboson backgrounds is suppressed by the dilepton mass requirement
(m`` > 200 GeV). We also consider backgrounds for which candidate misidentification
leads to events with two leptons and two jets in the final state. These backgrounds include W boson production with additional jets, t-channel single top quark events with additional jets, and QCD multijet events. These reducible backgrounds do not significantly contami-nate our signal region. The diboson backgrounds constitute ∼1.5% of the total background in the signal region, the W+jets ∼0.5%, the single top quark events ∼5%, and the QCD events ∼0.1%.
The MC samples used to estimate the background processes are simulated with
several MC event generators. The DY+jets and the tt samples are generated with
MadGraph5 amc@nlo 2.3.3 [29] at next-to-leading order (NLO) using the NLO
NNPDF3.0 [30] PDF set. Diboson (WW, WZ, and ZZ) samples are generated at leading
order (LO) using pythia 8.212 along with the LO NNPDF2.3 [28] PDFs, while W+jets
events are generated with MadGraph5 amc@nlo 2.3.3 [29] at leading order (LO) and
single top quark events are produced in the tW channel with powheg v1.0 [31–34]. The
dibo-JHEP05(2018)148
son, W+jets and single top quark events to NLO accuracy. The NNPDF3.0 PDFs are used for samples generated at NLO. For all samples, pythia 8.212 is used for parton
show-ering, fragmentation and hadronization with the underlying event tune cuetp8m1 [35].
The DY+jets samples have one parton at the matrix element level, and additional parton showering is modeled in pythia. The potential double counting of partons generated
us-ing pythia with those usus-ing MadGraph5 amc@nlo is minimized usus-ing the MLM [36]
(FXFX [37]) matching scheme in the LO (NLO) samples.
We define different regions of phase-space (control regions) to estimate the contribu-tions of the different SM backgrounds. To study the background contribution from DY+jets events we use a sample defined by the presence of two same-flavor, opposite-charge
elec-trons or muons and two jets. The invariant mass of the dilepton system must satisfy m``<
200 GeV. We call this the “low dilepton mass control region”. The “flavor control region”, used to study the tt background contribution, corresponds to an event sample composed of one electron, one muon, and two jets. For this region the invariant mass of the dilepton
system must satisfy m`` > 200 GeV, while the m``jj is required to be above 600 GeV.
5.1 Drell-Yan background
Monte Carlo simulation is used to estimate the background from high mass DY lepton pair production in association with additional jets, since no high purity control region has been identified having the same kinematic characteristics as the signal region. The normalization of DY+jets background in simulation is adjusted to match the event counts in data using a SF calculated as the ratio of data and simulation events under the Z resonance in the
range 80 < m`` < 100 GeV. This SF corrects for residual mismodeling between data and
simulation, and includes the signal region requirements on the jets. The measured SF is 1.07 ± 0.01 (stat) in both electron and muon channels.
We compare between data and MC all the kinematic distributions of the low dilepton mass control region for the ee and µµ channels, respectively. The agreement in this control region is especially important since we derive the estimate for the shape of the DY+jets background directly from simulation. The distributions of some kinematic quantities in
the low dilepton mass control region with the SF already applied are shown in figure 1for
both electron and muon channels. In these plots, all expected SM backgrounds, except for DY+jets and tt, are labelled as Other backgrounds. Good agreement is observed in the shapes of the kinematic distributions in both cases.
To verify that the SF measured for DY+jets below the Z boson peak is valid also at
higher dilepton masses, we use a dedicated control region, referred to as the “low m``jj
control region”, which is defined by the signal region selections, except for an inverted
m``jj < 600 GeV requirement. In this control region, we check for agreement between data
and simulation in events with high dilepton mass. The m``jj distributions with the DY SF
applied are shown in figure 2.
5.2 tt background
The tt background contribution is estimated directly from data in the flavor control region defined above, which has the same kinematic characteristics as the tt events in the signal

region. For this estimate, we use the events in the flavor control region, assuming that there is no contamination from signal events. This assumption, which corresponds to an imposition of the conservation of individual lepton flavor on our signal models, is valid since,
at leading order, the decay of a WR boson cannot yield events with an eµjj final state.
To calculate the number of events from tt production in the eejj and the µµjj signal
regions, we use simulated tt events to determine transfer factors R``/eµ (`` = ee or µµ)
between the eµjj control region and the signal region. These factors are evaluated from the
ratio of the number of simulated tt events in the distributions of meejjor mµµjj in the signal

number of events in the signal region is then given by:
Ntt(signal region) = Ntt(flavor control region) R``/eµ. (5.1)
Using the transfer factor, we can account for the difference in the efficiency and acceptance
between electrons and muons in these final states. The values of the transfer factors
obtained are given in table 1. The R``/eµ as a function of the m``jj distribution is fit to
a constant. A systematic uncertainty is assigned by fitting the transfer factor to a linear function and taking the difference between the values of this function at the high and
low m``jj. Figure 3 shows a comparison between simulated events and data for several
kinematic variables in the flavor control region.
The tt background contribution in the signal region is estimated without the direct use of simulated events. However, the agreement between simulation and data in the flavor control region suggests that other modeling using simulation, such as the signal acceptance, is reliable.

several TeV. While the LR symmetric models motivate the choice of the ``jj final state, we do not impose requirements on the signal shape specific to these models, in order to main-tain sensitivity to other models. The strategy to search for an excess of events in a wide mass range is effective in analyzing the data without exploiting other characteristics of the benchmark signal model and reduces the effect of the uncertainties in the shapes of the
back-grounds, especially in the high-m``jjregion. The expected number of signal and background
events is estimated by counting the events falling in a particular m``jj window. The upper
and lower limits of the mass window are chosen as a function of mWR to obtain the most
stringent expected cross section upper limits. Optimizing with respect to signal significance instead results in comparable mass windows. The width of the mass window for the
JHEP05(2018)148
masses (mWR ' 6000 GeV). For muons, the mass window varies more, and becomes as large
as 3800 GeV. The upper and lower bounds are fitted as functions of mWR to third degree
polynomials to reduce the effect of statistical fluctuations in the optimization procedure. The probability of the observed number of events being produced by a combination of background and signal with a cross section σ is calculated using a Bayesian approach with flat signal prior and a fit model with nuisance parameters introduced to address the uncertainties, with log-normal priors. The exclusion limit on the cross section σ is defined as the upper bound of the one-sided 95% credibility interval determined from the posterior likelihood distribution for the signal cross section. This procedure is repeated for each mass hypothesis.
In order to take into account the statistical and systematic uncertainties, pseudo-experiments are performed, varying the expected number of events from signal and back-ground according to the uncertainties as described below. The median of the distribution of the excluded cross section produced by pseudo-experiments and the intervals containing 68 and 95% of the pseudo-experiments are then quoted in the expected limits and their uncertainties.
The sources of systematic uncertainty considered in this analysis are the uncertainty
in the integrated luminosity determination [38], the normalization uncertainty in the tt
background, the uncertainties due to proton PDFs, and factorization and renormalization scales for the DY+jets background and the signal, and the systematic effects related to
candidate reconstruction. This last set of uncertainties, affecting the shape of the m``jj
distribution, include uncertainties in the jet and lepton energy scales and resolutions, and in the lepton reconstruction, trigger, isolation, and identification SFs.
In order to propagate the uncertainties in candidate reconstruction, a large number of pseudo-experiments are performed, varying all the uncertainty sources at the same time in an uncorrelated fashion, each according to a Gaussian distribution with mean equal to the nominal value and width equal to the uncertainty of the single source. The variations are performed before the event selection, so each pseudo-experiment is processed using the full analysis chain. The expected number of events for signal and background in a mass window is evaluated for each pseudo-experiment. The values used to extract the limit are given by the mean of the pseudo-experiment distribution, and their standard deviation is the propagated uncertainty. The uncertainties in the candidate reconstruction are then implemented as nuisance parameters with log-normal priors in the limit evaluation. The
effects of these uncertainties on the signal and background yields are listed in table 2.
The uncertainty in the integrated luminosity affects only the normalization of the m``jj
distributions, as does the uncertainty in the tt extrapolation SF given by the sum in
quadra-ture of its statistical and systematic uncertainties, evaluated as described in section 5.
The uncertainties in the estimation of the DY+jets background are implemented as a
function of m``jj following the PDF4LHC prescription [39], and affect both shape and
nor-malization of the m``jjdistributions. Table3lists the range of values of these uncertainties,
which are included in the evaluation of the limits as nuisance parameters with log-normal priors.

The effect is implemented as a function of m``jj as for the DY+jets background.
All of the uncertainties that affect the shape of the m``jj distribution also affect the
number of events in specific mass ranges and effectively become normalization uncertainties. To include the statistical uncertainties for each process in the evaluation of the limits,
Gamma distributions are used [40]. In the limit estimation, pseudo-experiments are
gener-ated based on the expected number of events, sampled according to a Gamma distribution and multiplied by the log-normal distributions of the systematics uncertainties.
In table 4, the expected number of events, including the statistical and systematic
uncertainties, for the WR signal, the DY+jets and tt background events, and the total of

for the assumptions mNR = 1/2mWR and gR = gL. In figure 4, we present the observed
m``jj distribution in the signal region and compare it to the expected backgrounds and the

to expectation.
Expected and observed exclusion limits on the signal cross section at 95% CL are shown
in figure5, taking into account all the systematic and statistical uncertainties described in
this section. For the WR model, with mNR = 1/2mWR, the observed lower limit at 95% CL
on the mass of the right-handed W boson is 4.4 TeV for both channels, while the expected exclusion limit is 4.4 TeV for the electron channel and 4.5 TeV for the muon channel, giving

an improvement of ∼1.4 TeV from the previous analysis at 8 TeV. The most significant
excess, of ∼1.5σ, is observed at m``jj' 3.4 TeV in the electron channel. A 2.8σ excess seen
at meejj ≈ 2.1 TeV with the 8 TeV analysis is thus not confirmed by the present data. The
lower edge of the 95% CL band disappears at high masses because of the small number of
events in that region. Assuming that only one heavy neutrino flavor NR contributes
signif-icantly to the WR decay width, the region in the two-dimensional (mWR, mNR) mass plane
is analyzed, covering a large range of neutrino masses below the WR boson mass. The WR
cross section limits obtained for mNR = 1/2mWR are scaled to this 2D plane by applying an
mWR- and mNR-dependent SF to the cross section limit. This SF is calculated using WR
sig-nal events at the generator level that pass the sigsig-nal selection, and accounts for the change
in the WRacceptance and efficiency as mNR changes for fixed mWR. The expected and
ob-served upper limits on the cross section for different WRand NRmass hypotheses are shown
in figure6. The 2D exclusion limits are less stringent in the region mNR . 1/8mWR, where
the selection efficiency in generator level events is lower than in fully reconstructed events.
7 Summary
A search for a right-handed analogue of the standard model W boson in the decay channel of two leptons and two jets has been presented. The analysis is based on proton-proton
collision data collected at √s = 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016,
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. No significant excess over the
standard model background expectations is observed in the invariant mass distribution of the dilepton plus dijet system. Thus the 2.8σ excess previously observed in data recorded by CMS at 8 TeV is not confirmed. Assuming that couplings are identical to those of

decaying into a right-handed heavy neutrino with a mass mNR = 1/2mWR is excluded at
95% confidence level up to a mass of 4.4 TeV, providing the most stringent limit to date. Acknowledgments
