Abstract

A search for massive coloured resonances which are pair-produced and decay into two jets is presented. The analysis uses 36.7 fb - 1 of s = 13 TeV <i>pp</i> collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2015 and 2016. No significant deviation from the background prediction is observed. Results are interpreted in a SUSY simplified model where the lightest supersymmetric particle is the top squark, t ~ , which decays promptly into two quarks through <i>R</i>-parity-violating couplings. Top squarks with masses in the range 100 GeV < m t ~ < 410   GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level. If the decay is into a <i>b</i>-quark and a light quark, a dedicated selection requiring two <i>b</i>-tags is used to exclude masses in the ranges 100 GeV < m t ~ < 470   GeV and 480 GeV < m t ~ < 610   GeV . Additional limits are set on the pair-production of massive colour-octet resonances.
