The total data analyzed correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1). Models of excited quarks and quantum black holes are considered. Using a wide-jet reconstruction for the candidate jet, the gamma +jet invariant mass spectrum measured in data is examined for the presence of resonances over the standard model continuum background. The background is estimated by fitting this mass distribution with a functional form. The data exhibit no statistically significant deviations from the expected standard model background. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level on the resonance mass and other parameters are set. Excited light-flavor quarks (excited bottom quarks) are excluded up to a mass of 6.0 (3.8) TeV. Quantum black hole production is excluded for masses up to 7.5 (5.2) TeV in the ArkaniHamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali (Randall-Sundrum) model. These lower mass bounds are the most stringent to date among those obtained in the gamma +jet final state.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBeyond Standard ModelHadron-Hadron ScatteringSearch for resonances in events with photon and jet final states in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeVArticle1210.1007/JHEP12(2023)1892-s2.0-85193767733Q1WOS:001173325000001Q1
