Strongly Interacting Vector Bosons at TeV e+-e- Linear Colliders -Addendum-

TL;DR

This paper analyzes high-energy electroweak boson scattering at 1 TeV e+-e- colliders, estimating experimental errors to test strong interaction models of electroweak symmetry breaking.

Contribution

It extends previous work by providing detailed estimates of experimental errors for vector boson scattering at future colliders, offering a way to test strong electroweak interactions.

Findings

Estimated experimental error on scattering amplitude is about 10%.

High-luminosity 1 TeV colliders can effectively test strong interaction mechanisms.

Analyzed processes include e+e- -> nu nu W+W-, nu nu ZZ, and e-e- -> W-W-.

Abstract

Extending earlier investigations, we analyze the quasi-elastic scattering of strongly interacting electroweak bosons at high-energy e+-e- colliders. The three processes e+e- -> bar-nu nu W+W-, bar-nu nu ZZ, and e-e- -> W-W- are examined at a c.m. energy of 1 TeV for high-luminosity runs. The expected experimental error on the scattering amplitude, parameter-free to leading order in the chiral expansion of the WW interactions, is estimated for 1 TeV colliders at the level of ten percent, providing a stringent test of strong interaction mechanisms for breaking the electroweak symmetries.
