Description

Many new physics models predict low mass resonances. However, the kinematic thresholds used in the nominal data taking program of CMS pose a difficulty in kinematically accessing these resonances. To overcome this problem, CMS has implemented Data Scouting Techniques that allow trigger thresholds to be lowered by saving a very limited amount of trigger-level event information offline. In this talk, we present the searches that used this data scouting technique in the LHC Run-II data to set some of the strongest constraints to date for low mass resonances in prompt and long-lived signatures.
