Footprints of New Strong Dynamics via Anomaly and the 750 GeV Diphoton
read the original abstract
The chiral anomaly provides a smoking-gun evidence of a new confining gauge theory. Motivated by a reported event excess in a diphoton invariant mass distribution at the LHC, we discuss a scenario that a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (pNG) boson of a new QCD-like theory is produced by gluon fusion and decays into a pair of the standard model gauge bosons. Despite the strong dynamics, the production cross section and the decay widths are determined by anomaly matching condition. The excess can be explained by the pNG boson with mass of around 750 GeV. The model also predicts exotic hadrons such as a color octet scalar and baryons. Some of them are within the reach of the LHC experiment.

Neutron Portal and Dark Matter-Baryon Coincidence: from UV Completion to Phenomenology
A UV-complete neutron portal model dynamically solves the dark matter-baryon coincidence via a supercooled dark confinement transition that generates GeV-scale asymmetric DM and links to observed gravitational waves.

Stopping Dark Mesons in Their Tracks with Long-Lived Particle and Resonant Signatures
Recast LHC searches yield a ~1.2 TeV lower bound on long-lived charged dark mesons and show that anomaly-driven diboson resonances can reconstruct UV parameters like dark flavor and color numbers from IR measurements.
