Diphoton resonance at e+e- and photon colliders

Abstract

In this note, I will review the opportunities offered by the hint of a new resonance observed at LHC for future e+e- TeV linear collider (LC) projects. This discussion is mainly influenced by two specific scenarios of physics which assume either a (pseudo-)scalar or a tensor resonance, but these estimates can be used in most scenarios. I envisage either a photon collider, which has a guaranteed signal with the LHC observation, or a standard e+e- collider, more straightforward to implement. After a detailed study of the heavy graviton scenario, I conclude that at a TeV LC, high accuracy measurements, including rare modes, allow to unambiguously establish the origin of this resonance. Also envisaged in some detail is a radion scenario which illustrates the production of a scalar. The role of an LC for precision measurements on Higgs and top couplings is recalled in the context of the Randall Sundrum model.
