Notes

  1. 1.

    This idea was also discussed in an article by Gerald Guralnik, Carl R. Hagen and Tom Kibble [6] later that year, and other activities in this direction were ongoing around that time.

  2. 2.

    The latest ATLAS result shows still an enhancement of the two photon rate [19], while the value measured by CMS went down when more data was included and is now slightly below the SM rate [20].
