Challenges and opportunities for heavy scalar searches in the channel at the LHC

M Carena, Z Liu - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract Heavy scalar and pseudoscalar resonance searches through the\(gg\to S\to
t\overline {t}\) process are challenging due to the peculiar behavior of the large interference …

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 …

Indirect constraints on the scalar di-photon resonance at the LHC

F Goertz, JF Kamenik, A Katz, M Nardecchia - Journal of High Energy …, 2016 - Springer
A bstract Motivated by the tantalizing excesses recently reported in the di-photon invariant
mass spectrum at the LHC, we scrutinize some implications of scalar di-photon resonances …

Hidden confining world on the 750 GeV diphoton excess

L Bian, N Chen, D Liu, J Shu - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We explain the recent diphoton excesses around 750 GeV by both ATLAS and CMS as a
singlet scalar Φ which couples to SM gluon and neutral gauge bosons only through higher …

Measuring the diphoton coupling of a 750 GeV resonance

S Fichet, G von Gersdorff, C Royon - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
A slight excess has been observed in the first data of photon-photon events at the 13 TeV
Large Hadron Collider that might be interpreted as a hint of physics beyond the standard …

Explanation of and muon , and implications at the LHC

CH Chen, T Nomura, H Okada - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
More than 3 σ deviations from the standard model are observed in the angular observable P
5′ of B→ K* μ+ μ-and muon g-2. To resolve these anomalies, we extend the standard …

750 GeV diphoton excess

W Altmannshofer, J Galloway, S Gori, AL Kagan… - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We explore several perturbative scenarios in which the diphoton excess at 750 GeV can
potentially be explained: a scalar singlet, a two Higgs doublet model (2HDM), a 2HDM with …

Flavor anomalies, the 750 GeV diphoton excess, and a dark matter candidate

M Bauer, M Neubert - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We argue that the diphoton excess recently reported by ATLAS and CMS can be explained,
along with several anomalies seen in the flavor sector, in models where a Standard Model …

Symmetries behind the 750 GeV diphoton excess

W Chao - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
A 750 GeV resonance has been observed at the run 2 LHC in the diphoton channel. In this
paper, we explain this resonance as a CP-even scalar S that triggers the spontaneous …

A new scalar resonance at 750 GeV: Towards a proof of concept in favor of strongly interacting theories

M Son, A Urbano - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We interpret the recently observed excess in the diphoton invariant mass as a new
spin-0 resonant particle. On theoretical grounds, an interesting question is whether this new …
