  A model-independent search for a narrow resonance produced in proton-proton
collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV and decaying to a pair of 125 GeV Higgs bosons
that in turn each decays into bottom quark-antiquark pairs is performed by the
CMS experiment at the LHC. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated
luminosity of 17.9 inverse femtobarns. No evidence for a signal is observed.
Upper limits at a 95% confidence level on the production cross section for such
a resonance, in the mass range from 270 to 1100 GeV, are reported. Using these
results, a radion with decay constant of 1 TeV and mass from 300 to 1100 GeV,
and a Kaluza-Klein graviton with mass from 380 to 830 GeV are excluded at a 95%
confidence level.
