Interpreting the 750 GeV Di-photon Resonance using photon-jets in Hidden-Valley-like models
Abstract
Motivated by the di-photon resonance recently reported by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at TeV, we interpret the resonance as a scalar boson in hidden-valley-like models. The scalar boson can mix with the standard model Higgs boson and thus can be produced via gluon fusion. It then decays into a pair of very light hidden particles of sub-GeV, each of which in turn decays to a pair of collimated 's, and these two 's decay into photons which then form photon-jets. A photon-jet (-jet) is a special feature that consists of a cluster of collinear photons from the decay of a fast moving light particle (sub-GeV). Because these photons inside the photon-jet are so collimated that it cannot be distinguished from a single photon, and so in the final state of the decay of a pair of photon-jets look like a pair of single photons, which the experimentalists observed and formed the 750 GeV di-photon resonance. Prospects for the LHC Run-2 about other new and testable features are also discussed.
