contents A search for a resonance heavier than 250 GeV decaying into four leptons via two intermediate bosons is presented. The search uses proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. Novel techniques are used to enhance the sensitivity to a collimated pair of dileptons reconstructed as a single merged object, resulting from the decay of an intermediate light boson. No significant excess of data over the background predictions is observed. Upper limits are set on the production cross section for a four-lepton resonance, including the previously unexplored phase space at the LHC with a dilepton mass of 0.4$-$15 GeV.
