A 750 GeV graviton and the Higgs as a pNGB
arXiv:1606.05326
Abstract
We study the diphoton excess at 750 GeV reported by ATLAS and CMS, by assuming that it corresponds to a new spin-two resonant state. We model this state as a massive graviton in a two-site model. We show that the very stringent bounds from final states can be evaded naturally by considering that the Higgs is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson. In this case the couplings of the graviton to the longitudinal electroweak gauge bosons can be parametrically suppressed. On the other hand, partial compositeness allows to suppress the leptonic channels. We compute loop-induced contributions to the graviton couplings by the presence of the SM third generation of quarks and composite partners of the SM fermions and obtain that they are not important. We find that the diphoton signal and the experimental constraints from other decay channels can be reproduced in a large and natural region of the parameter space of the theory.
