"The 750 GeV Resonance at LHC and HEP Christmas"

Dr. J. Lorenzo Díaz Cruz, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla


After LHC run1 (with c.m. energy of 7-8 TeV) the measurements of the Higgs properties seem consistent with the Standard Model, except for the presence of some anomalies which have limited statistics, such as the LFV Higgs decay h -> tau mu (2.4σ excess at CMS), as well as a heavy resonance observed around 2 TeV. The first data from the LHC run2 (with c.m. energy of 13 TeV) does not give further support to the 2 TeV resonance, however it does show a new di-photon resonance (X -> gamma gamma) with invariant mass of 750 GeV, that appears in both detectors ATLAS and CMS, with a significance of 3.9σand 2.6σ, respectively. The general interpretations of this resonance that have appeared in the last month are the subject of this talk, with some particular emphasis on the class of multi-scalar models that we have worked for a while.
