Strongly interacting WW system: Gold-plated modes.
/ Authors
/ Abstract
In this paper we survey the signals and backgrounds for a strongly interacting electroweak symmetry-breaking sector at hadron supercolliders in the TeV region. We study the process [ital pp][r arrow][ital WWX], and compute the rates for the gold-plated'' channels, where [ital W][sup [plus minus]][r arrow][ital l][sup [plus minus]][nu] and [ital Z][r arrow][ital l][sup +][ital l[minus]] ([ital l]=[ital e],[mu]), for a wide variety of models. Using a forward jet-tag, a central jet-veto, and a back-to-back lepton cut to suppress the standard model backgrounds, we demonstrate that the SSC and CERN LHC have substantial sensitivity to strong interactions in the electroweak symmetry-breaking sector.
