Quantum corrections from nonresonant WW scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
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 the corrections from the standard model Higgs boson with the mass set to the unitarity scale for strong WW scattering.

Raman scattering through a metal-insulator transition
The exact solution for nonresonant A1g and B1g Raman scattering is presented for the simplest model that has a correlated metal-insulator transition, the Falicov-Kimball model, by employing dynamical mean-field theory. In the general case, the A1g response includes nonresonant, resonant, and mixed contributions, and the B1g response includes nonresonant and resonant contributions ~we prove the ...
متن کاملRadiative Corrections to WW → WW in the Electroweak Standard Model
The cross-section for WW → WW with arbitrarily polarized W bosons is calculated within the Electroweak Standard Model including the complete virtual and softphotonicO(α) corrections. We show the numerical importance of the radiative corrections for the dominating polarized cross-sections and for the unpolarized cross-section. The numerical accuracy of the equivalence theorem is investigated in ...
متن کاملComplementarity of Resonant and Nonresonant Strong WW Scattering at the LHC
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,...
متن کاملTheory of time-resolved nonresonant x-ray scattering for imaging ultrafast coherent electron motion
Future ultrafast x-ray light sources might image ultrafast coherent electron motion in real space and in real time. For a rigorous understanding of such an imaging experiment, we extend the theory of nonresonant x-ray scattering to the time domain. The role of energy resolution of the scattering detector is investigated in detail. We show that time-resolved nonresonant x-ray scattering with no ...
متن کاملOff-shell W-pair production — universal versus non-universal corrections
Electroweak radiative corrections to ee scattering processes typically amount to O(10%) at LEP energies. Their logarithmic increase with energy renders them even more important at future colliders. Although the bulk of these corrections is due to universal process-independent effects, the remaining non-universal corrections are nevertheless phenomenologically important. We describe the structur...
