Contribution

It introduces a composite model for weak bosons with detailed analysis of excited states and their decay channels, proposing a possible interpretation of recent LHC signals.

Findings

Identification of the lowest mass state with the observed boson at LHC

Discussion of decay modes of excited weak bosons into weak bosons and photons

Potential explanation of a 0.75 TeV two-photon signal as an excited weak tensor boson

Abstract

In a composite model of the weak bosons the p-wave bosons are studied. The state with the lowest mass is identified with the boson, which has been discovered at the LHC. Specific properties of the excited bosons are discussed, in particular their decays into weak bosons and photons. Recently a two photon signal has been observed, which might come from the decay of a neutral heavy boson with a mass of about 0.75 TeV. This particle could be an excited weak tensor boson.
