SUMMARY:A review of the Run 1 diboson excesses at the LHC - Dave Sutherlan

DESCRIPTION:Both ATLAS and CMS have possibly seen hints of a new 2 TeV par
 ticle decaying to two bosons (a boson meaning W\, Z or H)\; the most strik
 ing is a bump\, apparently of 3.4 sigma local significance\, released by A
 TLAS in June 2015. I will first review the experimental evidence\, before 
 discussing what it would imply for the putative particle's properties. I w
 ill then review the models in the literature that could explain its origin
 s.\nIn a couple of months' time\, this topic will become either terribly e
 xciting or rather moot\, as by then the LHC experiments should have collec
 ted enough Run 2 data to corroborate or refute the existence of such a 2 T
 eV resonance.
