Abstract
We present a search for a narrow resonance in the inclusive diphoton final state using of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We observe good agreement between the data and the background prediction, and set the first 95% C.L. upper limits on the production cross section times the branching ratio for decay into a pair of photons for resonance masses between 100 and 150 GeV. This search is also interpreted in the context of several models of electroweak symmetry breaking with a Higgs boson decaying into two photons.
