Recent CMS searches for exotic phenomena beyond the Standard Model

Abstract

The results of several recent CMS searches for exotic phenomena beyond the Standard Model are presented in this talk. Two searches look for new physics in a final state with a vector boson and missing transverse energy. Three searches target massive resonances decaying to a Higgs boson and a vector boson. Finally, preliminary results are presented for the first CMS search for exotic phenomena using $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV data, the search for dijet resonances.Comment: Presentation at the DPF 2015 Meeting of the American Physical Society Division of Particles and Fields, Ann Arbor, Michigan, August 4-8, 201
