Abstract

We consider the constraints, provided by the LHC results on Higgs boson decay into 2 photons and its production via gluon fusion, on the previously proposed Standard Model (SM) strongly bound state S of six top quarks and six antitop quarks. A correlation is predicted between the ratios [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of the Higgs diphoton decay and gluon production amplitudes, respectively to their SM values. We estimate the contribution to these amplitudes from one-loop diagrams involving the 12 quark bound state S and related excited states using an atomic physics based model. We find two regions of parameter space consistent with the ATLAS and CMS data on [Formula: see text] at the three sigma level: a region close to the SM values [Formula: see text] with the mass of the bound state [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]GeV and a region with [Formula: see text] corresponding to a bound state mass of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]GeV.
