Scrutinizing a di-photon resonance at the LHC through Moscow zero
arXiv:1608.04755 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2016/11/054
Abstract
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have recently released their new analyses of the diphoton searches. We look in detail the consequences of their results deriving strong constraints on models where a scalar resonance decays into two light pseudoscalars which in turn decay into two pairs of collimated photons, mis-identified with two real photons. In our construction, all mass terms are generated dynamically, and only one pair of vector-like fermions generate couplings which will be probed using the upcoming LHC data. Moreover, we show that a stable dark matter candidate, respecting the cosmological constraints, is naturally affordable in the model.
