The Diphoton Excess from an Exceptional Supersymmetric Standard Model
  In this paper we explain the diphoton excess in the invariant mass M $\approx$ 750 GeV , claimed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the run-2 LHC, as the signal of a scalar singlet in a string inspired exceptional supersymmetric standard model (ESSM). The scalar singlet might play a rule in the spontaneous breaking of the $U(1)^\prime$ gauge symmetry of the ESSM and couples to diphoton and/or gluon pair with the help of exotic quarks and Higgs-like supermultiplets, which are contained in the fundamental representation of the $E_6$ group. The model might give rise to a large enough production cross section at the LHC but can hardly fit with the wide width of the resonance except in the strong couple regime.
