Instantons at work

D Diakonov - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2003 - Elsevier
The aim of this review is to demonstrate that there exists a coherent picture of strong
interactions, based on instantons. Starting from the first principles of Quantum …

Phenomenology of a 750 GeV singlet

A Falkowski, O Slone, T Volansky - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer

Di-photon excess illuminates Dark Matter

M Backović, A Mariotti, D Redigolo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer

accommodate the di-photon excess recently observed by the ATLAS and CMS …

A visible QCD axion from an enlarged color group

T Gherghetta, N Nagata, M Shifman - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We consider the possibility of an enlarged QCD color group, SU (3+ N′) spontaneously
broken to SU (3) c× SU (N′) with extra vectorlike quarks transforming in the fundamental …

Minimal model of a diphoton resonance: Production without gluon couplings

C Csáki, J Hubisz, J Terning - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We consider the phenomenology of a resonance that couples to photons but not gluons, and
estimate its production rate at the LHC from photon-photon fusion in elastic pp scattering …

Footprints of new strong dynamics via anomaly and the 750 GeV diphoton

Y Nakai, R Sato, K Tobioka - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
The chiral anomaly provides smoking-gun evidence of a new confining gauge theory.
Motivated by a reported event excess in a diphoton invariant mass distribution at the LHC …

Goldstones in diphotons

B Bellazzini, R Franceschini, F Sala, J Serra - Journal of High Energy …, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We study the conditions for a new scalar resonance to be observed first in
diphotons at the LHC Run-2. We focus on scenarios where the scalar arises either from an …

Quark seesaw, vectorlike fermions and diphoton excess

PS Dev, RN Mohapatra, Y Zhang - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We present a possible interpretation of the recent diphoton excess reported by the
early\(\sqrt {s}= 13\) TeV LHC data in quark seesaw left-right models with vectorlike fermions …
