Dijet resonances, widths and all that    [PDF]

The search for heavy resonances in the dijet channel is part of the on-going
physics programme, both at the Tevatron and at the LHC. Lower limits have been
placed on the masses of dijet resonances predicted in a wide variety of models.
However, across experiments, the search strategy assumes that the effect of the
new particles is well-approximated by on-shell production and subsequent decay
into a pair of jets. We examine the impact of off-shell effects on such
searches, particularly for strongly interacting resonances.
