String Consistency, Heavy Exotics, and the 750 GeV Diphoton Excess at the LHC: Addendum

arXiv:1602.06257

Abstract

We study models with heavy exotics that account for the LHC GeV diphoton excess in light of current vector-like quark bounds. Utilizing only exotics that may appear in three-stack and four-stack D-brane models, we show that a narrow width diphoton excess can be accounted for while evading existing bounds if multiple exotics are added, with vector-like leptons of mass GeV and vector-like quarks with masses up to TeV. However, a large width , as suggested by the ATLAS data, cannot be easily accommodated in this framework. Renormalization group equations with GUT-scale boundary conditions show that these supersymmetric models are perturbative and stable. Type IIA compactifications on toroidal orbifolds allow for Yukawa couplings in the ultraviolet.
