Abstract: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is an ideal machine to look for new colored particles. On general grounds, the search for a neutral spin-0 color-octet particle is motivated by exploring a set of spin, electric charge, and color quantum numbers that is complementary to those of existing searches. Such a particle is included in the octo-triplet model, which introduces three particles (Theta0,Theta+,Theta-) that transform as a color octet and weak triplet under SU(3)c cross SU(2)W. I present the first search for neutral octo-triplet scalar particles in Z+jets final states, using dilepton data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV.
