Abstract
A search for heavy dimuon resonances produced in association with b-jets is presented. The analysis uses a 36.1 fb1 dataset collected in 2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the LHC at p s = 13 TeV. No significant excess in events above the expected background from Standard Model processes was observed. Upper limits on the cross-section times branching ratio were set at 95% Confidence Level for two production mechanisms: gluon-gluon fusion and bassociated production. The observed upper limits are between 1.6 and 44 fb and 1.9 and 41 fb respectively and agree well with expectations.
