Status of the search for excited bottom quarks decaying to tW at s = 13 TeV — •Alexander Froehlich, Johannes Haller, and Roman Kogler — Universität Hamburg

A search is presented for an excited b quark (b) decaying to tW, singly produced in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV. The data used has been recorded with the CMS experiment in 2016. The search is performed in the semi-leptonic channel for b masses ranging from 1200 GeV to 3000 GeV. For increasing b masses, the resulting top quark decay products have an increasing probability to be merged into a single jet. In order to achieve high selection efficiency over the whole mass region, a new top tagger, the Heavy Object Tagger with Variable R (HOTVR), is tested and its performance is compared to standard algorithms used in CMS.
