Vanilla Technicolor at Linear Colliders

TL;DR

This paper evaluates the potential of linear colliders to probe models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking by detecting new spin-one resonances and analyzing related processes.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of how linear colliders can test the compositeness scale and detect heavy vector resonances through specific production and decay channels.

Findings

Linear colliders can effectively test the compositeness scale up to maximum energy.

Drell-Yan processes involving heavy bosons are promising for detection.

Light Higgs production via heavy vectors is also analyzed.

Abstract

We analyze the reach of Linear Colliders (LC)s for models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. We show that LCs can efficiently test the compositeness scale, identified with the mass of the new spin-one resonances, till the maximum energy in the center-of-mass of the colliding leptons. In particular we analyze the Drell-Yan processes involving spin-one intermediate heavy bosons decaying either leptonically or into two Standard Model (SM) gauge bosons. We also analyze the light Higgs production in association with a SM gauge boson stemming also from an intermediate spin-one heavy vector.
