Ko", "Chaehyun Yu", "Tzu-Chiang Yuan" ], "comment": "6 pages, 3 figures", "categories": [ "hep-ph", "hep-ex" ], "abstract": "The diphoton excess at 750 GeV would make a definite signal of new physics beyond the Standard Model, if it is confirmed. In this letter, we consider a possibility that the excess is due to a composite (pseudo)scalar boson, whose constituents are either new vector-like quarks (Q\\overline{Q}) or scalar quarks (\\widetilde{Q} \\widetilde{Q}^\\dagger) which feel new QCD-like vectorlike confining force with confinement scale Lambda_h. Assuming m_Q (m_{\\widetilde Q}) >> Lambda_h, the observed 750 GeV excess could be either Q\\overline{Q} (^1S_0) state with J^{PC} = 0^{-+} or \\widetilde{Q} \\widetilde{Q}^\\dagger (^1S_0) state with J^{PC}=0^{++}. For the Q\\bar{Q} scenario, there will be a spin-triplet partner psi_Q which is slightly heavier that eta_Q because of the hyper fine interactions mediated by h-gluon exchange. We consider productions and decays of eta_Q, eta_{\\widetilde Q} and psi_Q using the nonrelativistic QCD methods, and identify the parameter regions which can explain the observed diphoton excess. We discuss how to test these scenarios using the Drell-Yan process for psi_Q case, and the dijet azimuthal angular distributions to determine the J^{PC} quantum number of the diphoton excess.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-03-29T15:10:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gev diphoton excess", "scalar boson", "strong interaction", "dijet azimuthal angular distributions", "nonrelativistic qcd methods" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160308802K", "inspire": 1436363 } } }
