Electroweak Symmetry Breaking at the Ssc and Lhc
نویسنده
چکیده
In this talk we survey the SSC and LHC signals and backgrounds for the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking. We study the process pp → WWX and compute the rate for the “gold-plated” signals W → lν and Z → ll (l = e, μ) for a wide variety of models. We use a forward jet tag and central jet veto to suppress the standard-model backgrounds. In this way we estimate the SSC and LHC sensitivities to the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking.

Effective Field Theory of Anomalous Gauge-boson Couplings at High-energy Pp Colliders
We compute the effects of anomalous gauge-boson couplings at high-energy hadron colliders using next-to-leading order SU(2) × SU(2) chiral perturbation theory. By comparing the yields from the universal p 2 terms with those arising from new physics at order p 4 , we estimate the sensitivity of the SSC and LHC to the indirect effects of electroweak symmetry breaking.
متن کاملProbing the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Mechanism at High Energy Colliders
We briefly review the recent developments of probing the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism at high energy colliders such as the CERN LEP2, the Fermilab Tevatron, the CERN LHC and the e+e− linear colliders. Both weakly interacting and strongly interacting electroweak symmetry mechanisms are concerned.
متن کاملElectroweak symmetry breaking at the LHC
One of the major goals of the Large Hadron Collider is to probe the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism and the generation of the masses of the elementary particles. We review the physics of the Higgs sector in the Standard Model and some of its extensions such as supersymmetric theories and models of extra dimensions. The prospects for discovering the Higgs particles at the LHC and the stu...
متن کاملProbing Strongly Interacting Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Mechanism at High Energy Colliders
We sketch some of our recent studies on probing strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism at high energy colliders such as the CERN LHC and the future ee linear collider. The study includes both model-dependent and modelindependent probes.
متن کاملMirage unification at TeV scale and natural electroweak symmetry breaking in minimal supersymmetry
We propose a new minimal supersymmetric scenario with virtually no fine-tuning in the electroweak symmetry breaking. It favors light supersymmetric spectrum below a few TeV and predicts definite relations among stop and gaugino masses and LSP higgsino with μ . 200 GeV, which are within the reach of coming LHC experiment 1.
