What can the L3 $\gamma\gamma ll$ events be?

Abstract

We consider the 4 γγll\gamma\gamma ll (l=μ, el=\mu,\ e) events reported by the L3 collaboration, and go through the logical possibilities which could explain the events. If they are not coincidental bremsstrahlung events, we find that the physics which they could point to is extremely limited. One possibility would be to have a new 60 GeV scalar (or pseudoscalar) particle X0X^0 with an off-diagonal coupling to a ZZ and ZZ' which is non-perturbative (α>1\alpha > 1), where the ZZ' couplings to ννˉ\nu\bar\nu are suppressed. One could also construct a model involving X0X^0, and a second scalar X0X'^0 with a large XllX'll coupling. We do not promote either of these models, but hope they would prove to be useful guidelines, should the L3 events turn out to be new physics.
