Search for a heavy resonance decaying into a $Z+\mathrm{\text{jet}}$ final state in $p\overline{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96\mathrm{TeV}$ using the D0 detector

We have searched for a heavy resonance decaying into a $Z+\mathrm{\text{jet}}$ final state in $p\overline{p}$ collisions at a center of mass energy of $1.96\mathrm{TeV}$ at the Fermilab Tevatron collider using the D0 detector. No indication for such a resonance was found in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $370{\mathrm{pb}}^{-1}$. We set upper limits on the cross section times branching fraction for heavy resonance production at the 95% C.L. as a function of the resonance mass and width. The limits are interpreted within the framework of a specific model of excited quark production.
