{"arxiv_id":"1605.00206","title":"750 GeV diphoton resonance and electric dipole moments","abstract":"We examine the implication of the recently observed 750 GeV diphoton excess for the electric dipole moments of the neutron and electron. If the excess is due to a spin zero resonance which couples to photons and gluons through the loops of massive vector-like fermions, the resulting neutron electric dipole moment can be comparable to the present experimental bound if the CP-violating angle {\\alpha} in the underlying new physics is of O(10^{-1}). An electron EDM comparable to the present bound can be achieved through a mixing between the 750 GeV resonance and the Standard Model Higgs boson, if the mixing angle itself for an approximately pseudoscalar resonance, or the mixing angle times the CP-violating angle {\\alpha} for an approximately scalar resonance, is of O(10^{-3}). For the case that the 750 GeV resonance corresponds to a composite pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson formed by a QCD-like hypercolor dynamics confining at \\Lambda_HC, the resulting neutron EDM can be estimated with \\alpha ~ (750 GeV / \\Lambda_HC)^2\\theta_HC, where \\theta_HC is the hypercolor vacuum angle.","primary_cat":"hep-ph","cross_cats":[],"submitted_at":"2016-05-01T06:50:28+00:00","latest_version":1,"source":"arxiv","source_label":"arXiv","source_url":null,"has_pdf":true,"has_source":false,"verdict":null,"confidence":null,"one_line_summary":null,"novelty_score":null,"correctness_risk":null,"formal_verification":null,"upvotes":0,"downvotes":0,"pith_score":0,"inbound_count":2,"_links":{"html":"https://pith.science/paper/1605.00206","verdict":"/api/v1/verdicts/1605.00206"}}
