Abstract

Diphoton channel provides a clean signature in searches for new physics. In this paper, we discuss a connection between the diphoton channel (γγ\gamma\gamma) and triboson channels (ZγγZ\gamma\gamma, ZZγZZ\gamma, WWγWW\gamma) imposed by the SU(2)L×U(1)YSU(2)_{L}\times U(1)_{Y} symmetry of the Standard Model (SM) in certain classes of models. To illustrate this idea we choose a simple model that has all these channels. In this model, the same physics can give rise to γ+\gamma+MET instead of γγ\gamma\gamma and 2 bosons plus missing energy instead of 3-boson channels. We analyze existing constraints and previous searches and show that channels WWγWW\gamma and especially Zγ+Z\gamma+MET have a potential to discover new physics at the LHC.
