Undergrad New LHC Results 2015: Interesting Diphoton Excess?

Click For Summary
CMS has reported that there is no longer any evidence for the diphoton excess observed in 2015, particularly in the mass range of 750 GeV. The removal of events where both photons were detected in the endcap has raised questions about the analysis methods. ATLAS is expected to release its results soon, with speculation that they will mirror CMS's findings. The original significance of the 2015 bump was weak, and the lack of increased significance with new data suggests it was likely a statistical anomaly. The discussion highlights concerns about the future of particle physics research, especially if no new phenomena are discovered.

. We should get new results in the near future, the latest at Moriond
I think the aim is at Moriond (not before)?

Didn't see announcements for anything before that, but that doesn't mean there is no chance things get presented earlier.

Is there other physics run next year?

Yes... LHC will undergo some short shutdown for half the 2017 and then continue taking data.almost for the whole time till the end of 2018 when LS2 is scheduled. I think before LS2 the plan is to reach above 100/fb of data.
