“…This can be realised in explicit simple models with extra vector-like fermions, described by a QCD-like fundamental Lagrangian. The electroweak scale could be linked to the new strong interactions in a more subtle way as in [45] or [46] or because of dark matter.…”

Run 2 LHC data show hints of a new resonance in the diphoton distribution at an invariant mass of 750 GeV. We analyse the data in terms of a new boson, extracting information on its properties and exploring theoretical interpretations. Scenarios covered include a narrow resonance and, as preliminary indications suggest, a wider resonance. If the width indications persist, the new particle is likely to belong to a strongly-interacting sector. We also show how compatibility between Run 1 and Run 2 data is improved by postulating the existence of an additional heavy particle, whose decays are possibly related to dark matter.

“…Right after the relaxion crosses the point µ h (φ) = 0, so that µ 2 h (φ) becomes negative, a nonzero Higgs vacuum expectation value (VEV) is developed and a Higgs-dependent back reaction potential begins to operate to stabilize the relaxion. 1 One can then arrange the model parameters in a technically natural way to result in the relaxion stabilized at a point where the corresponding Higgs VEV is much smaller than the initial Higgs boson mass.…”

We discuss a scheme to implement the relaxion solution to the hierarchy problem with multiple axions, and present a UV-completed model realizing the scheme. All of the N axions in our model are periodic with a similar decay constant f well below the Planck scale. In the limit N ≫ 1, the relaxion φ corresponds to an exponentially long multi-helical flat direction which is shaped by a series of mass mixing between nearby axions in the compact field space of N axions. With the length of flat direction given by ∆φ = 2πf eff ∼ e ξN f for ξ = O(1), both the scalar potential driving the evolution of φ during the inflationary epoch and the φ-dependent Higgs boson mass vary with an exponentially large periodicity of O(f eff ), while the back reaction potential stabilizing the relaxion has a periodicity of O(f ). A natural UV completion of our scheme can be found in high scale or (mini) split supersymmetry (SUSY) scenario with the axion scales generated by SUSY breaking as f ∼ √ m SUSY M * , where the soft SUSY breaking scalar mass m SUSY can be well above the weak scale, and the fundamental scale M * can be identified as the Planck scale or the GUT scale.

Beyond-the-standard-model interactions mediated by an exchange of virtual "new" bosons result in a finite set of possible effective interaction potentials between standard-model particles such as electrons and nucleons. The classification of such potentials is discussed and recent experiments searching for such exotic interactions at spatial scales from sub-nanometers to tens of thousand kilometers are briefly reviewed. standard model. We begin with a presentation of a nonrelativistic framework used to deal with fundamental interactions carried by spin-0 and spin-1 bosons at lowenergy scales and then we explore some of the systems used to give such constraints at various scales.
