Description

A search is presented for new resonances decaying to a W or Z boson and a Higgs boson in the l+l-bb-bar, lνbb-bar, νν-bar bb-bar channels in pp collisions at √ s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider using a total integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb-1. The search is conducted by looking for a localized excess in the WH/ZH invariant or transverse mass distribution. No significant excess is observed, and the results are interpreted in terms of constraints on a simplified model based on a phenomenological Lagrangian of heavy vector triplets. (authors)
