Diboson Signals via Fermi Scale Spin-One States

Abstract

ATLAS and CMS observe deviations from the expected background in diboson invariant mass searches of new resonances around 2 TeV. We provide a general analysis of the results in terms of spin-one resonances and find that Fermi scale composite dynamics can be the culprit. The analysis and methodology can be employed for future searches at run two of the Large Hadron Collider.

Version to match the published one in PRD. Note that we use an effective theory and therefore our analysis is largely model-independent and applies not only to technicolor but also to composite (goldstone) Higgs as well as to elementary extensions that appeared later in the literature.
