Description
At the LHC, the production of heavy resonances decaying into a pair of particles
can be probed at unprecedented centre-of-mass energies. Two-particle resonances
are predicted in a variety of BSM models and can be searched for in a largely
model-independent fashion. Results from searches for resonances in final states
with leptons, jets and photons based on the full dataset of 20 fb-1 taken by the
CMS detector in 2012 in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of
8 TeV are presented. They are interpreted in terms of various theories of BSM
physics ranging from generic heavy resonances such as the Z' to excited quarks
or Randall-Sundrum gravitons. In absence of a signicant deviation from the
expected SM background 95% CL limits are set on model parameters of the
theories under study. The talk will put special emphasis on the most recent
results.
