Interpreting The 750 GeV Diphoton Excess Within Topflavor Seesaw Model

Abstract

We propose to interpret the 750 GeV diphoton excess in a typical topflavor seesaw model. The new resonance X can be identified as a CP-even scalar emerging from a certain bi-doublet Higgs field. Such a scalar can couple to charged scalars, fermions as well as heavy gauge bosons predicted by the model, and consequently all of the particles contribute to the diphoton decay mode of the X. Numerical analysis indicates that the model can predict the central value of the diphoton excess without contradicting any constraints from 8 TeV LHC, and among the constraints, the tightest one comes from the Z \gamma channel, \sigma_{8 {\rm TeV}}^{Z \gamma} \lesssim 3.6 {\rm fb}, which requires \sigma_{13 {\rm TeV}}^{\gamma \gamma} \lesssim 6 {\rm fb} in most of the favored parameter space.
