Infrared weak corrections to strongly interacting gauge bosons scattering

TL;DR

This paper calculates all-order infrared electroweak corrections to strongly interacting gauge boson scattering within the Standard Model with a heavy Higgs, showing significant effects at energies relevant for future colliders.

Contribution

It provides the first all-order resummed expressions at the double log level for electroweak corrections in gauge boson scattering.

Findings

Corrections range from 10% to 40% at collider energies.

The sign of corrections depends on initial states and emission considerations.

Corrections are significant for future collider experiments.

Abstract

We evaluate the impact of electroweak corrections of infrared origin on longitudinal strongly interacting gauge bosons scattering, calculating all order resummed expressions at the double log level. As a working example, we consider the Standard model with a heavy Higgs. At energies typical of forthcoming experiments (LHC,ILC,CLIC), the corrections are in the 10-40 % range, the relative sign depending on the initial state considered and on whether or not additional gauge bosons emission is included.
