Diphoton signals from colorless hidden quarkonia

Abstract: We show that quarkonia-like states of a hidden SU(N ) gauge group can account for the 750 GeV diphoton excess observed by ATLAS and CMS, even with constituents carrying standard model hypercharge only. The required hypercharge is modest, varying between about 1.3-1.6 for strong SU(N ) coupling, to 2-3 for weak SU(N ) coupling, for N = 3, 4. This scenario predicts a variety of diphoton and multi-photon resonances, as well as photons from continuum pair production, and possibly exotic decays into standard model … Show more

“…It has been appreciated for a long time that the top squark might first be identified through the decay of stoponium to γγ [59,60,61]. Pursuing these ideas, several authors have interpreted the Φ as a nonrelativistic bound state of new fermions or bosons [62,63,64,65,66,67,68]. Stoponium itself has a signal cross section about 10 times too small, but this can be overcome by assuming larger electric charge (e.g., 5/3) for the constituents.…”

“…It is worth mentioning, that among the theoretical papers that appeared between December, 2015 and August, 2016 there are several ones, which consider both 125 GeV boson and the hypothetical new heavier Higgs boson as composite due to the new strong interaction (see, for example, [35,36]. More papers, however, were devoted to the description of the composite nature of the heavier (750 GeV) Higgs boson only [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. In the present paper we concentrate on the scenario, which is based on the application of the model of [54].…”
