The sensitivity is improved by b-tagging at least one lower-pT jet in addition to the two highest-pT jets. The data used in this search correspond to an integrated luminosity of 103 fb-1 collected with a dedicated trijet trigger during the 2017 and 2018 pffisffi = 13 TeV proton-proton collision runs with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The search looks for resonant peaks in the b-tagged dijet invariant mass spectrum over a smoothly falling background. The background is estimated with an innovative data-driven method based on orthonormal functions. The observed b-tagged dijet invariant mass spectrum is compatible with the background-only hypothesis. Upper limits at 95{\%} confidence level on a heavy vector-boson production cross section times branching ratio to a pair of b-quarks are derived.", optnote="WOS:000748638100002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5103), last updated on Wed, 09 Feb 2022 16:25:32 +0000", issn="2470-0010", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.105.012001", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.09059", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.105.012001", language="English" }
