1. Introduction
RecentlytheATLASandCMScollaborationsreportedanexcess ofdiphotoneventsattheinvariantmassmγ γ
750 GeV withthe local significance 3.6σ
and 2.6σ
, respectively [1,2]. The anal-ysis was updated later, yielding an increased local significance, 3.9σ
and3.4σ
,respectively[3,4]
.Ifthesignal persists,thiswill be an unforeseen discovery of new physics beyondthe Standard Model (SM). So one can ask now what would be the possible phenomenologyotherthanthediphotonexcess,whichmayresult fromthenewphysicstoexplainthe750 GeVdiphotonexcess.With the presently available data,one simple scenario to ex-plain the diphoton excess is a SM-singlet spin zero resonance S which couples to massive vector-like fermions carryingnon-zero SM gauge charges[5–8]. Inthisscenario, the750 GeV resonance interacts with the SM sector dominantly through the SM gauge fieldsandpossibly alsothroughthe Higgsboson. Insuch case, if thenewphysicssectorinvolvesaCP-violatinginteraction,the elec-tricdipolemoment(EDM)oftheneutronorelectronmayprovide themostsensitiveprobeofnewphysicsinthelowenergylimit.
