Physics of leptoquarks in precision experiments and at particle colliders

I Doršner, S Fajfer, A Greljo, JF Kamenik, N Košnik - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
We present a comprehensive review of physics effects generated by leptoquarks (LQs), ie,
hypothetical particles that can turn quarks into leptons and vice versa, of either scalar or …

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 …

Scattering light by light at 750 GeV at the LHC

S Fichet, G von Gersdorff, C Royon - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We consider the possibility that the diphoton excess at 750 GeV is caused by a new scalar
resonance produced in photon fusion. This scenario is parametrized by only one relevant …

On the interpretation of a possible∼ 750 GeV particle decaying into γγ

J Ellis, SAR Ellis, J Quevillon, V Sanz, T You - Journal of High Energy …, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We consider interpretations of the recent∼ 3σ reports by the CMS and ATLAS
collaborations of a possible X (∼ 750 GeV) state decaying into γγ final states. We focus on …

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 …

A pseudoscalar decaying to photon pairs in the early LHC Run 2 data

M Low, A Tesi, LT Wang - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract In this paper we explore the possibility of a pseudoscalar resonance to account for
the 750 GeV diphoton excess observed both at ATLAS and at CMS. We analyze the …

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 …
