Complementarity of Resonant and Nonresonant Strong WW Scattering at the LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
We exhibit a complementary relationship between resonant WZ and nonresonant W+W+ scattering in a chiral Lagrangian model of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector with a dominant “ρ” meson. We use the model to estimate the minimum luminosity for the LHC to ensure a “no-lose” capability to observe the symmetry breaking sector. This work was supported by the Director, Office of Energy Research, Office of High Energy and Nuclear Physics, Division of High Energy Physics of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC03-76SF00098.

The 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 کاملQuantum corrections from nonresonant WW scattering
An estimate is presented of the leading radiative corrections to low energy electroweak precision measurements from strong nonresonant WW scattering at the TeV energy scale. The estimate is based on a novel representation of nonresonant scattering in terms of the exchange of an effective scalar propagator with simple poles in the complex energy plane. The resulting corrections have the form of ...

Chiral lagrangians provide a model independent description of the strongly interacting symmetry breaking sector. In this work it is first reviewed the LHC sensitivity to the chiral parameters (in the hardest case of non-resonant low-energy WW scattering). Later it is shown how to reproduce or predict the resonance spectrum by means of dispersion theory and the inverse amplitude method. We prese...
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 کاملBoson boson scattering at LHC
We analyse some features of WW scattering processes at LHC. The severe cancellations between fusion diagrams and the other contributions evidence the necessity of complete calculations for studying the high WW invariant mass region and disentangling the standard Higgs case from new physics.
