Description

We search for a new heavy resonance in H→bbyy decay channel. The range of the heavy boson mass is between [180-1500] GeV. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data with an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector. In this work, we discuss event selections and signal optimisation. In addition, we compare data to state-of-the-art Monte Carlo simulation on the control region.
