Abstract
We present search prospects and phenomenology of doubly resonant signals that come from the decay of a neutral weak-singlet color-octet vector state ω 8 into a lighter weak-triplet color-octet scalar π 8, which can arise in several theories beyond the Standard Model. Taking mω 8-mπ 8>m W, we demonstrate an analysis of the signals pp→ω 8→π8±W ∓(π80Z)→gW ±W ∓(gZZ) . The present 8 TeV LHC run is found to have the potential to exclude or discover the signal for a range of masses and parameters. The preferred search channel has a boosted W-tagged jet forming a resonance with a second hard jet, in association with a lepton and missing energy. © 2012 American Physical Society.
