LHC diphoton resonance from gauge symmetry

Abstract: Motivated by what is possibly the first sign of new physics seen at the LHC, the diphoton excess at 750 GeV in ATLAS and CMS, we present a model that provides naturally the necessary ingredients to explain the resonance. The simplest phenomenological explanation for the diphoton excess requires a new scalar state, X(750), as well as additional vector-like (VL) fermions introduced in an ad-hoc way in order to enhance its decays into a pair of photons and/or increase its production cross-section. We show that th… Show more

“…Finally, versions with heavy sterile neutrinos include cold dark matter candidates as weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) [166]. Besides that, the 3-3-1 models can explain the 750 GeV diphoton excess recently reported by ATLAS and CMS [167][168][169][170] as well as the 2 TeV diboson excess found by ATLAS [171].…”

“…Concerning models with an extended gauge symmetry, those based on the gauge symmetry SU(3) c × SU(3) L × U(1) X , also called 3-3-1 models, which introduce a family nonuniversal U(1) X symmetry [95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106], can provide an explanation for the origin of the family structure of the fermions. These models have the following phenomenological advantages: (i) The three family structure in the fermion sector can be understood in the 3-3-1 models from the cancellation of chiral anomalies and asymptotic freedom in QCD.…”

“…In this work, we extend this scenario to include the next lowest SU (2) L electroweak representation with these properties: A pseudoscalar tripletΠ ∼ (π 0 ,π ± ) furnishing the of spontaneous EWSB, this scenario is intrinsically different from models where the neutral component of an SU (2) L doublet is responsible for the diphoton excess [6,16,20,21,[23][24][25], as well as from left-right symmetric approaches to the diphoton excess [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] or GeorgiMachacek models [33,34], in which an EW triplet acquires a vev, and from extensions of SU (2) L [35][36][37].…”
