We further elaborate on the proposal that the Higgs boson should be a broad heavy resonance, referred to as true Higgs $H_T$, with mass around $750 \, GeV$. We stress once again that within the Standard Model the true Higgs is the unique…

Recently the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC have found a Higgs like boson $h$ with a mass around 125 GeV from several decay modes. The decay mode $h \to \gamma\gamma$ is one of the most important modes in studying whether $h$ is…
