5 Phenomenology and Theory N signal N theory Topologies A. Strumia, Moriond 016 Decaying spin-0 (S) Scalar (s), pseudoscalar (p) or mixed (if CP violation) SUSY: s, p close in mass or well-separated (SUSY mediation) String axion (low string scale); strong dynamics (e.g., heavy axion) Weak coupling (heavy Higgs, remnant, tadpole consistency)

6 Rate σ pp S B γγ C GG Γ GG Γ γγ Γ (for GG fusion) NWA: rate C GG Γ γγ for Γ Γ GG + Γ γγ and Γ γγ Γ GG Large width: need additional decay channels (invisible?, DM?) and larger Γ γγ Γγγ/ Λ / Γ/ Γ Γ γγ σ /σ = σ /σ = Γ / Λγ/ Γγγ/ L =g s ( + e ( σ /σ = σ /σ = Λ / s G µνg µν + p G µν Λ G Γ/ Λ G Γ Γ γγ Γ / G µν s F µνf µν + p F µν Λ γ Λ γ Λγ/ ) F µν ) Franceschini et al,

7 Simplest possibility: weakly coupled S (s or p); loop-induced couplings G G GG fusion favored by σ(1)/σ(8), overall rate SU() singlet favored (rate; s H mixing) S SM particles in loop insufficient (e.g., direct S t t too large) Quasi-chiral exotics (vectorlike wrt SM) in loops (+ possible scalars) (Γ γγ /M: coupling to SM small) New sector orthogonal to naturalness-motivated BSM Typeset by FoilTEX

8 Explicit spin-0 models (partial list) HDM, NMSSM, SUSY, R p, sgoldstini, gluinonia Dark matter, dark portal, hidden valley U(1), SU() L SU() R U(1), enhanced color Axion, dilaton, flavon, time-varying field Quirks Strong coupling, top color, technicolor, composite pion, composite vector Radion Radiative ν W ball 4 th family Grand unification, E 6, Pati-Salam, flipped Strings, axions, low scale, strong coupling F sector, remnants (tadpole consistency)

10 Pseudoscalar (τ P(τ) ) Scalar (τ S(τ) ) Limits on Q + Q, L + L extremely model dependent (take M Q > 750, M L > 00) M i Many papers w. various assumptions Can reproduce NWA Large width: only strong coupling at TeV scale or large number of exotics ( strong coupling) Can fake large width by near degenerate s and p ( HDM?; SUSY? Mediation mechanism?)

11 String Remnants Enormous landscape of string vacua Subset consistent with everything we know Often larger than SM or MSSM (string opportunity) String remnants (nonminimal BSM that slips through net ; not motivated by SM problems) Additional TeV-scale U(1) Extended Higgs sector: singlets, multiple doublet pairs Quasi-chiral exotics (vector wrt SM, chiral under new global/gauge symmetries) New dynamics: perturbative global symmetries w. exponentially-suppressed breaking (string instantons)

12 New stringy constraints (SU(), U(1) tadpole constraints; very large groups/representations unlikely) Example: intersecting brane (Type IIA) constructions Assume SM sector perturbative up to large string scale

13 TypesetbyFoilTEX Intersecting Brane (Type IIA) Constructions U(N) from N D6 branes (fill of the 6 extra dimensions) Adjoints, bifundamentals (open); gravitons (closed) Also, symmetric, antisymmetric; SO(N), Sp(N) Families from multiple intersections (-cycles wrapping 6d) Yukawa interactions exp( A ijk ) hierarchies Existing models: additional gauge factors, Higgs, chiral matter Global U(1) s (may be broken by nonperturbative D instantons)

14 Tadpoles and Extended MSSM Quivers Implications of String Constraints for Exotic Matter and Z s Beyond the Standard Model, M. Cvetič, J. Halverson, PL, JHEP 1111,058 ( ); Anomaly Nucleation Constrains SU() Gauge Theories, J. Halverson, PRL 111, (1.91) Intersecting brane type IIA constructions (and others): tadpole cancellation conditions stronger than anomaly cancellation in augmented field theory (for N a = 1, ) (FT with anomalous U(1) s and Chern-Simons terms) U(N a ) from stack of N a D6 branes: N a : #a #a + (N a + 4) (# a # a ) + (N a 4) (# a # a ) = 0 N a = 1 : #a #a + (N a + 4) (# a # a ) = 0 mod, SU(N a ) triangle anomaly condition for N a

15 Landscape view: all vacua must be consistent Additional constraints from existence of hypercharge Most quivers with just MSSM chiral matter don t satisfy tadpole (plus H L) constraints (none for nodes with no vector pairs) Systematically add matter to MSSM quivers to satisfy tadpole and hypercharge conditions (eight and 4-node hypercharge embeddings) Up to 5 additional fields Don t allow purely vector pairs (typically acquire M s -scale masses) Allow quasi-chiral pairs (vector under MSSM; chiral under anomalous or additional non-anomalous U(1) s) May also exclude fractional charge, heavy chiral states, no H d L distinction

19 More Realistic Estimates Larger exotic quark masses Limits very model dependent: M U,D GeV for mixing induced decays (e.g., D W t, Zb, Hb); LQ decays? M L GeV We assume M L > 00, M U,D > 750 Couplings perturbative up to large scale (e.g., 16 GeV) Landau poles for γ 1; smaller Yukawas (e.g., 0.7) from IR fixed point Optional: MSSM-type gauge unification Require more exotics than considered in ; restrict to same quantum numbers

20 RGE Assume SUSY down to TeV scale for definiteness Common type IIA exotics: N D (, 1) 1/ + (, 1) 1/ pairs, N L (1, ) 1/ + (1, ) 1/ pairs N Q (, ) 1/6 + (, ) 1/6 pairs, N U (, 1) / + (, 1) / pairs N E (1, 1) 1 + (1, 1) 1 pairs Gauge couplings ( β gi dg i /dt with t = ln(µ/µ 0 )) 16π β g = g ( + N Q + N U + N D ) 16π β g = g (1 + N Q + N L ) ( 16π β g1 = g ( NQ N U + N D + N )) L + N E

27 Conclusions Intriguing 750 GeV diphoton excess Data suggests new pseudoscalar coupled to GG and γγ by vectorlike fermion loops (M Q TeV) Somewhat orthogonal to SM and usual BSM (dark sector? string remnants?) Other possibilities: axions, spin-, γγ or q q production, different topologies If narrow: could be perturbative up to large scale If broad: strong TeV-scale dynamics (or two nearby resonances) Many models/implementations Type IIA (intersecting brane) constructions

31 Anomalous U(1) from trace generator of U(N) usually acquires Stuckelberg mass near string scale M s Anomalies cancelled by Chern-Simons U(1) global symmetry on (perturbative) superpotential May be broken by non-perturbative D-instantons (exponentially suppressed) Linear combination q x U(1) x may be massless, non-anomalous if q a N a (# a # a + # a # a ) + x a q x N x (#(a, x) #(a, x)) = 0, N a q a #(a) #(a) + 8(# a ) # a ) + x a q x N x (#(a, x) #(a, x)) = 0, N a = 1 Require one linear combination weak hypercharge, Y May be additional massless combinations, broken by Higgs singlet VEVs TeV-scale Z (even for M s = O(M pl ))
