Exclusion Limits on a Scalar Decaying to Photons and Distinguishing Its Production Mechanisms

Partonic cross sections of various production modes of as functions of computed at at the 13 TeV LHC. Here, denotes the cross section of produced through the fusion with and  TeV. Initial , , and come from the PDFs of proton whereas initial and come from initial quarks. These cross sections are computed by applying some basic generation level cuts as defined in (4).
