Connection between diphoton and triboson channels in new physics searches

/ Abstract
Diphoton channel provides a clean signature in searches for new physics. In this paper, we discuss a connection between the diphoton channel ($γγ$) and triboson channels ($Zγγ$, $ZZγ$, $WWγ$) imposed by the $SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)_{Y}$ symmetry of the Standard Model (SM) in certain classes of models. To illustrate this idea we choose a simple model that has all these channels. In this model, the same physics can give rise to $γ+$MET instead of $γγ$ and 2 bosons plus missing energy instead of 3-boson channels. We analyze existing constraints and previous searches and show that channels $WWγ$ and especially $Zγ+$MET have a potential to discover new physics at the LHC.
