Features in the Standard Model diphoton background
Abstract
We argue that electromagnetic decays of energetic unflavoured neutral mesons, notably η, mis-identified as single photons due to granularity of the electromagnetic calorimeter might create bump-like features in the diphoton invariant mass spectrum at different energies, including 750 GeV. We discuss what kind of additional analysis can exclude or confirm this hypothesis.
