Abstract

We construct a weakly-coupled renormalizable model to explain the 750\mboxGeV750\mbox{GeV} diphoton excess. The 750\mboxGeV750\mbox{GeV} resonance (denoted as X(750)X(750)) is interpreted as a pseudoscalar coming from a complex singlet. The model also naturally provides a dark matter candidate. One most attractive feature of the model is that decays of X(750)X(750) are all loop-induced so the diphoton rate is not diluted by unwanted tree level branching fractions. Relevant Yukawa interactions need not to be tuned to near non-perturbative region to explain the rate. The model is highly predictive, including the pseudoscalar nature of X(750)X(750), and two nearly mass-degenerate exotic quarks carrying electric charge 5/35/3 and 2/32/3, respectively. Rich phenomenology is expected with respect to collider searches, flavor physics and dark matter detection, if X(750)X(750) can be pinned down by future LHC experiments.
