Higgs stability and the 750 GeV diphoton excess

We study the implications of a possible unstable particle with mass MX<TeV for the Higgs stability, naturalness and inflation. We pay particular attention to the case MX≈750 GeV, suggested by recent results of ATLAS and CMS on diphoton final states, and work within the minimal model: we add to th...
