after analyzing new data collected at centre-of-mass energies of p s = 13 TeV. We present a possible physical interpretation of such a signature, within the framework of a minimal UV-complete model with a massive singlet pseudo-scalar state a that couples to a new TeV-scale coloured vector-like fermion F, whose hypercharge quantum number is a non-zero integer. The pseudo-scalar state a might be a heavy pseudo-Goldstone boson, such as a heavy axion, which decays into two photons and whose mass lies around the excess region. The mass of the CP-odd state a and its coupling to F may be due to non-perturbative effects, which can break the original Goldstone shift symmetry dynamically. The possible role that the heavy axion a can play in the radiative generation of a seesaw Majorana scale and in the solution to the so-called strong CP problem is briefly discussed.
