HEP@VUB meetings (42): On the Diphoton Excess

Thursday 28 Jan 2016, 09:30 → 12:30 Europe/Brussels

Jean Sacton seminar room (1G003) (Universe)

Alberto Mariotti

The recent announcement from LHC (ATLAS and CMS) of a hint of an excess in diphoton final state at 750GeV has foster a hectic activity in the phenomenology community to explain this signal in BSM scenarios. This informal workshop aims to review the main features of this excess and to survey the possible explanations.
