LHC 750 GeV Diphoton excess in a radiative seesaw model

TL;DR

This paper explores explaining the 750 GeV diphoton excess at the LHC using a radiative seesaw model with multiple doubly charged particles, enhancing the scalar's diphoton coupling and production rate.

Contribution

It introduces a model with multiple charged particles that naturally explains tiny neutrino masses and accounts for the diphoton excess through radiative effects and photon fusion.

Findings

Enhanced diphoton decay width of scalar S due to charged particles.

Increased production rate of S via photon fusion process.

Possible scenarios with or without mixing between S and the Higgs.

Abstract

We investigate a possibility for explaining the recently announced 750\,GeV diphoton excess by the ATLAS and the CMS experiments at the CERN LHC in a model with multiple doubly charged particles, which was originally suggested for explaining tiny neutrino masses through a three-loop effect in a natural way. The enhanced radiatively generated effective coupling of a new singlet scalar $S$ with diphoton with multiple charged particles in the loop enlarges the production rate of $S$ in $pp\to S+X$ via photon fusion process and also the decay width $\Gamma(S\to \gamma\gamma)$ even without assuming a tree level production mechanism. We provide detailed analysis on the cases with or without allowing the mixing between $S$ and the standard model Higgs doublet.
