Title: Interpretations of the 750 GeV Peak in Minisplit SUSY Models
Comments: v3: 3 pages, added refs, added refs, minor changes
Subjects: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph); High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

ATLAS and CMS have just reported an anomaly in run 2. Unsurprisingly, we scrutinize the diphoton excess in the Weinberg-Polchinski model. The $S$ couples not only to $b\bar{b}$, but also to $hh$. Neutral fermions are required at 900 GeV. More data should reveal the nature of the 750 GeV resonance.

Title: Interpretations of the 750 GeV Excess in Extensions of Folded SUSY
Comments: 12 pages
Subjects: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph); High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

In this paper, we discuss the intriguing diphoton anomaly at run 2 (at 1.6 sigma). Moreover, conformal dynamics are added to SU(5) to allow for the $\gamma\gamma$ excess. The $S(750)$ is produced in the quark antiquark channel and decays to $\gamma\gamma$. We expect an eta prime above 900 GeV. More data is likely to confirm this ingenious principle.

Title: The 750 GeV Excess as a Heavy Pion
Comments: 2 pages
Subjects: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

In this article, we talk about the intriguing diphoton resonance at run 2 (at 3.0 sigma). While the diphoton resonance could be a statistical fluctuation, although the $\gamma\gamma$ excess could be a statistical fluctuation, the diphoton resonance is studied in SU(5) with light axions. The resonance is produced in the quark antiquark channel and decays to a pair of photons. Surprisingly, the R symmetry protects the mass of the $S$. Our results are similar to work done by Terning.

Title: Spin-2? Interpretations in Twin Higgs
Comments: v2: added refs, based on a talk given on Heisenberg's 40th birthday
Subjects: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph); High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

ATLAS and CMS have just released an excess in run 2 at 4.7 sigma. Actually, we scrutinize the 750 GeV peak in folded SUSY. A corollary of this model is that it cannot account for the doublet-triplet splitting problem. We expect a pseudo Nambu Goldstone boson above 800 GeV. Finally, we study the 750 GeV excess in technicolor with vector-like quarks.

Title: The 750 GeV Resonance From Fat Higgs
Authors: U. Moroi, T. Dev
Comments: v2: added refs
Subjects: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

In this article, we address the intriguing diphoton excess at run 2 (at 1.5 sigma). Interestingly, even though the 750 GeV excess could be a statistical fluctuation, we study the 750 GeV resonance in AdS/CFT with charge 4/3 quarks. The conformal symmetry protects the mass of the $S$, but not the Higgs. We expect a heavy pion above 300 GeV. Given this, our work may seem quite unexpected.
