Resonances all over the place?

Abstract

We provide a possible interpretation of excesses reported by ATLAS and CMS at around 95GeV, 650GeV and possibly 320GeV, in terms of CP-even scalars. In particular, the combined {\sl global} statistical significances of independent indications for a 650GeV object reach the $4\sigma$ level! While this seems sufficient incentive for a further investigation, this object cannot be fitted in tradional singlet or doublet extensions of the Standard Model. It requires by itself a larger extension with doubly-charged scalars, that naturally fits the two other excesses on top of the SM-like 125~GeV Higgs. We describe the minimal model and give some numerical illustrations.
