LHC Sensitivity to the Resonance Spectrum of a Minimal
Strongly Interacting Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Sector
José Ramón Peláez
Universidad Complutense de Madrid
We present a unified analysis of the two main production processes
of vector boson pairs at the LHC, VV-fusion and q-qbar annihilation,
in a minimal strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking sector.
Using a unitarized electroweak chiral Lagrangian formalism and modeling
the final V_L V_L strong rescattering effects by a
form factor, we describe q-qbar annihilation processes
in terms of the two chiral parameters that govern elastic V_L V_L
scattering. Depending on the values of these two
chiral parameters, the unitarized amplitudes may present
resonant enhancements in different angular momentum-custodial isospin
channels. Scanning this two parameter space, we generate the general
resonance spectrum of a minimal strongly interacting electroweak
symmetry breaking sector and determine the regions that can be
probed at the LHC.
The almuerzo-seminario is
intended to be an informal seminar and an open forum for discussion.
You are wellcome to bring your own
