Özet

We discuss a possible interpretation of the 750 GeV diphoton resonance, recently reported at the large hadron collider (LHC), within a class of SU(2)(L) x SU(2)(R) x SU(4) models with gauge coupling unification. The unification is imposed by the underlying noncommutative geometry (NCG), which in these models is extended to a left-right symmetric completion of the Standard Model (SM). Within such unified SU(2)(L) x SU(2)(R) x SU(4) models the Higgs content is restrictively determined from the underlying NCG, instead of being arbitrarily selected. We show that the observed cross-sections involving the 750 GeV diphoton resonance could be realized through a SM singlet scalar field accompanied by colored scalars, present in these unified models. In view of this result, we discuss the underlying rigidity of these models in the NCG framework and the wider implications of the NCG approach for physics beyond the SM.
