Description
The Multi-lepton anomalies at the LHC are indicative of a scalar resonance with a mass around $150 \pm 5$\,GeV in the $\gamma \gamma$ and $Z \gamma$ spectra in association with leptons and jets with a global significance of $5.4 \sigma$. This provides a compelling avenue for exploring new physics beyond the Standard Model using the di-photon channel. This project investigates the hypothesized resonance, where the scalar decays into a photon pair accompanied by a muon or electron and a $b$-jet $S(\rightarrow \gamma \gamma) + \geq 1 \ell +b$-jet. An analysis of the ATLAS data will be done in this channel, using the easyjet analysis framework, thus possibly reinforcing the hypothesis.
