Paired resonances

The main idea is to study in a (possibly) model independent way scalar and vector resonances that are easier to constraint when pair-produced than when singly produced, and that then decay into pairs of SM states. The typical final state will therefore be a pair of resonances.

Typically, resonances can be spin-0 (scalar) or spin-1 (vector), coloured or SU(3)-singlet, and a fairly simple classification can be done accordingly to their transformation under the SU(2)_L × U(1)_Y group of the SM.
