Abstract

We continue our investigation of the phenomenological consequences of the MCPM for the LHC experiments. As in any two-Higgs-doublet model we have in the MCPM three neutral Higgs bosons and one charged Higgs-boson pair H±H^\pm. Here we discuss the two-photon production in proton-proton collisions. We find that in the MCPM a resonance-type structure in the γγ\gamma\gamma invariant mass distribution is predicted around twice the H±H^\pm mass mH±m_{H^\pm} with a width 2  ΓH2\; \Gamma_H where ΓH\Gamma_H is the H±H^\pm width. If we set mH±=375m_{H^\pm} = 375 GeV, the above resonance structure appears at 750 GeV with a width of about 45 GeV. We point out various predictions of the MCPM which follow in such a scenario and which can be checked at the LHC.
