We present results of searches for diphoton resonances produced
both inclusively and also in association with a vector boson (W or Z) using
100 pb-1 of p anti-p collisions using the CDF detector. We set upper limits
on the product of cross section times branching ratio for both p anti-p ->
gamma gamma + X and p anti-p --> gamma gamma + W/Z. Comparing the inclusive
production to the expectations from heavy sgoldstinos we derive limits on
the supersymmetry-breaking scale sqrt F in the TeV range, depending on the
sgoldstino mass and the choice of other parameters. Also, using a NLO
prediction for the associated production of a Higgs boson with a W or Z
boson, we set an upper limit on the branching ratio for H --> gamma gamma.
Finally, we set a lower limit on the mass of a 'bosophilic' Higgs boson
(e.g. one which couples only to gamma, W, and Z bosons with standard model
couplings) of 82 GeV/c2 at 95% confidence level.
