Description
To address the incompleteness of the Standard Model (SM), many models, e.g compositeness, extra dimensions, have predicted the existence of new resonances at the LHC in the final state of a photon and a jet. If such a resonance exists, the signal would appear as a bump on top of the smooth invariant mass distribution of the SM background processes. A search is presented for new resonances decaying to a photon and a jet in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV using the data collected by the CMS experiment between 2016 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb-1
