LHC diphoton excess from colorful resonances

Abstract

Motivated by the possible diphoton excess around $750\mathrm{GeV}$ observed by ATLAS and CMS at $13\mathrm{TeV}$, we consider a coloron model from $\mathrm{SU}(3{)}_1\times \mathrm{SU}(3{)}_2$ spontaneously breaking to the Standard Model $\mathrm{SU}(3{)}_{\mathrm{C}}$. A colored massive vector boson is resonantly produced by $q\bar{q}$ in proton collision, followed by a colored scalar cascade decay. This process gives two photons and one jet in the final states. And the kinetic edge of the two photons can be an interpretation of the diphoton excess, while satisfying the dijet, $\mathrm{t}\bar{\mathrm{t}}$, jet+photon resonance constraints. In this model, due to the large mass of vector resonance, the parton luminosity function ratio between $13\mathrm{TeV}$ and $8\mathrm{TeV}$ can be quite large. Therefore, the diphoton excess has not been observed at $8\mathrm{TeV}$ search. On the other hand, having all the new particles color-charged around $\mathrm{TeV}$, this model predicts new signals at the LHC, which can be validated soon.
