Abstract

We revisit a set of dark sector models, motivated by anomalies observed in BB decays and the muon anomalous magnetic moment, in the light of a recently reported diphoton excess around 750\,GeV. Interpreting the excess as a scalar resonance associated with the symmetry breaking sector of a dark gauge group, we show that a diphoton cross section of few fb can be accomodated, together with anomalies in RKR_K and gμ2g_\mu-2 within a minimal dark sector model. The resulting prominent collider signatures are in the form of wide resonant signals into top and muon pair final states below 1\sim1\,TeV. The model further predicts a dark matter candidate, yet with a significantly underabundant relic density, unless produced by an appropriate non-thermal mechanism.
