Probing electroweak symmetry breaking at multi-TeV colliders (open access)

Probing electroweak symmetry breaking at multi-TeV colliders

Low energy theorems are derived for scattering of longitudinally polarized W and Z's, providing the basis for an estimate of the observable signal if electroweak symmetry breaking is due to new physics at the TeV scale. A pp collider with L, {radical}s {equals} 40 TeV, 10{sup 33}cm. {sup {minus}2}s{sup {minus}1} is just sufficient to observe the signal while pp colliders with 40, 10{sup 32} or 20, 10{sup 33} are not. A collider that is sensitive to the TeV-scale signal provides valuable information about symmetry breaking whether the masses of the associated new particles are below, within, or above the 1-2 TeV region. 6 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs.
