Description

Motivated by an excess around 95 GeV in the LEP data, we evaluate several ex-
cesses around that mass that have emerged in recent years at the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC). Results from the CMS and ATLAS collaborations have shown
that there is a scalar at around that mass, we combine the results from both
collaborations for when the scalar decays into γγ, ττ, and WW to analyze the
significance. The potential connection of this scalar candidate with the multi-
lepton anomalies at the LHC is discussed.
