## TL;DR

This paper explores a light radion model as an alternative to the Standard Model Higgs, showing it can better fit the 125 GeV Higgs and explain a 95 GeV diphoton excess observed at the LHC.

## Contribution

The study revisits the Higgs-radion mixing model, demonstrating its viability as a better fit for LHC data and explaining the 95 GeV diphoton excess.

## Key findings

- Radion mixed Higgs fits the 125 GeV data better than SM.
- The model predicts a light radion causing the 95 GeV diphoton excess.
- The scenario remains consistent with current LHC observations.

## Abstract

Even if the LHC observations are consistent with the Standard model (SM), current LHC results are not precise enough to rule out the presence of new physics. Taking a contrarian view of the SM Higgs fandom, we look out for a more suitable candidate for the 125 GeV boson observed at the LHC. At the same time, a recent result from CMS hints towards an excess near 95 GeV in the diphoton ($\gamma \gamma$) channel. Given these aspects, we revisit the Higgs-radion mixing model to explore the viability of the radion mixed Higgs to be the 125 GeV boson along with the presence of a light radion (to be precise Higgs mixed radion) that can show up in future experiments in the $\gamma \gamma$ channel. We find that the mixed radion-Higgs scenario gives a better fit than the SM, with the radion mixed Higgs as a more suitable 125 GeV scalar candidate. It also gives rise to a diphoton excess from the light radion, consistent with the LHC observations.
