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 …

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 …

Phenomenology of a 750 GeV singlet

A Falkowski, O Slone, T Volansky - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We study the recently reported excess in the diphoton resonance search by ATLAS
and CMS. We investigate the available parameter space in the combined run-1 and run-2 …

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 …

Di-photon excess illuminates Dark Matter

M Backović, A Mariotti, D Redigolo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We propose a simplified model of dark matter with a scalar mediator to
accommodate the di-photon excess recently observed by the ATLAS and CMS …

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 …

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 …

Interpreting a 750 GeV diphoton resonance

RS Gupta, S Jäger, Y Kats, G Perez… - Journal of High Energy …, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We discuss the implications of the significant excesses in the diphoton final state
observed by the LHC experiments ATLAS and CMS around a diphoton invariant mass of …

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 …
