PROBING STRONG ELECTROWEAK SYMMETRY BREAKING IN W + W − → tt̄
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the process WW → tt̄ in several models of strong interaction electroweak symmetry breaking. We calculate the signals that can be expected by observing the reaction ee→ νν̄tt̄ at an ee linear collider with 1.5 TeV center of mass energy. We also discuss how the lowest-lying resonances predicted by these models could be identified using top polarization observables. presented at the International Workshop on Linear Colliders Sitges, Barcelona, Spain, 28 April – 5 May 1999 Work supported by the Spanish MEC and FAME under project AEN97–1678.

STUDIES OF STRONG ELECTROWEAK SYMMETRY BREAKING AT FUTURE e+e- LINEAR COLLIDERS *
-The exploration of electroweak symmetry breaking is the primary task of the next generation of pp and e+ecolliders. In this paper we review how strong electroweak -symmetry breaking can be studied using the process e+e+ W+Wat the next generation e + e linear collider (NLC). We assume two stages for the center-of-mass energy and luminosity of the NLC.l In the initial stage the center-of-mass en...
متن کاملCoupling of tt̄ and γγ with a strongly interacting Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Sector
We report the coupling of an external γγ or tt̄ state to a strongly interacting EWSBS satisfying unitarity. We exploit perturbation theory for those coupling of the external state, whereas the EWSBS is taken as strongly interacting. We use a modified version of the IAM unitarization procedure to model such a strongly interacting regime. The matrix elements VLVL → VLVL, VLVL ↔ hh, hh → hh, VLVL ↔...
متن کاملAn Effective Higgsless Theory: Satisfying Electroweak Constraints and a Heavy Top Quark
The main challenge faced by Higgsless models of electroweak symmetry breaking is to reconcile the experimental constraints imposed by the precision electroweak data and the top quark phenomenology with the unitarity constraints imposed by longitudinal gauge boson scattering amplitudes. In this paper we expand on previous work, giving details of how delocalized fermions can be used to adjust the...

متن کاملSensitivity of the Lhc to Electroweak Symmetry Breaking: Equivalence Theorem as a Criterion
Based upon our recent study on the intrinsic connection between the longitudinal weak-boson scatterings and probing the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) mechanism, we reveal the profound physical content of the Equivalence Theorem (ET) as being able to discriminate physical processes which are sensitive/insensitive to probing the EWSB sector. With this physical content of the ET as a criter...
