abstract = {In new physics searches involving photons at the LHC, one
challenge is to distinguish scenarios with isolated photons
from models leading to “photon jets”. For instance, in
the context of the 750 GeV diphoton excess, it was pointed
out that a true diphoton resonance $S \to \gamma\gamma$ can
be mimicked by a process of the form $pp \to S \to aa \to
4\gamma$, where $S$ is a new scalar with a mass of 750 GeV
and $a$ is alight pseudoscalar decaying to two collinear
photons. Photon jets can be distinguished from isolated
photons by exploiting the fact that a large fraction of
photons convert to an $e^{+}e^{-}$ pair inside the inner
detector. In this note, we quantify this discrimination
power, and we study how the sensitivity of future searches
differs for photon jets compared to isolated photons. We
also investigate how our results depend on thelifetime of
the particle(s) decaying to the photon jet. Finally, we
discuss the extension to $S \to A^{\prime} A^{\prime} \to
e^{+}e^{-}e^{+}e^{-}$, where there are no photons at all but
the dark photon $A^{\prime}$ decays to $e^{+}e^{-}$ pairs.
Our results will be useful in future studies of the putative
750 GeV signal, but also more generally in any new physics
search involving hard photons.},
