Seminarium Teorii Oddziaływań Elementarnych

I will discuss the excess in the diphoton resonance searches by ATLAS and CMS at 750 GeV. A model independent characterization of the parameter space of the resonance will be presented. Different phenomenological possibilities concerning production and decay channels will be reviewed. Finally, I will comment on the possible embeddings of these phenomenological models in more complete scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model.
