Search for resonances in diphoton events at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Searches for new resonances decaying into two photons in the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are described. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb −1 at s=13 TeV recorded in 2015. Two searches are performed, one ta...
