Strong WW interactions at the LHC

چکیده
We present a brief pedagogical introduction to the E ective Electroweak Chiral Lagrangians, which provide a model independent description of the WW interactions in the strong regime. When it is complemented with some unitarization or a dispersive approach, this formalism allows the study of the general strong scenario expected at the LHC, including resonances.

متن کاملThe No-higgs Signal: Strong Ww Scattering at the Lhc
Strong WW scattering at the LHC is discussed as a manifestation of electroweak symmetry breaking in the absence of a light Higgs boson. The general framework of the Higgs mechanism — with or without a Higgs boson — is reviewed, and unitarity is shown to fix the scale of strong WW scattering. Strong WW scattering is also shown to be a possible outcome of five-dimensional models, which do not emp...
متن کاملAnomalousWW coupling in photon-induced processes using forward detectors at the CERN LHC
In this paper, we discuss a new possible test of the standard model (SM) predictions using photon-induced processes at the LHC, and especially WW production. The cross sections of these processes are computed with high precision using quantum electrodynamics (QED) calculations, and an experimental observation leading to differences with expectations would be a signal due to beyond standard mode...
متن کاملWZ and W+γ∗ Backgrounds to Strong WW Scattering at the LHC
Because of inevitable blind spots at high rapidity and low transverse momentum, the process qq → ll lν provides a surprisingly large background to the WW → lν lν signal associated with strongWW scattering. Previous calculations of the total background are approximately doubled, and the estimate of the “no-lose” luminosity at the LHC to observe manifestations of the electroweak symmetry breaking...
متن کاملWW Physics at Future e+e− Linear Colliders
Measurements of triple gauge boson couplings and strong electroweak symmetry breaking effects at future e + e − linear colliders are reviewed. The results expected from a future e + e − linear collider are compared with LHC expectations.
