Evidences for a pseudo scalar resonance at 400 GeV Possible interpretations

Abstract

This paper intends to collect the various evidences observed by ATLAS and CMS within searches for heavy scalars and pseudocalars. These searches in tt, hZ, tautau and 2jets+W, obtain individual excesses in five channels, each at a modest level of significance, ~3 standard deviations, but, put together, give a strong evidence for a pseudoscalar at ~400 GeV. Preliminary interpretations are given which suggest that additional observations should appear in the HL-LHC phase.
