Search for resonances decaying into photon pairs in 139 fb${}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Abstract

Searches for new resonances in the diphoton final state, with spin 0 as predicted by theories with an extended Higgs sector and with spin 2 using a warped extra-dimension benchmark model, are presented using 139 fb${}^{-1}$ of $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV $pp$ collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. No significant deviation from the Standard Model is observed and upper limits are placed on the production cross-section times branching ratio to two photons as a function of the resonance mass.
