CERN LHC sensitivity to the resonance spectrum of a minimal strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking sector - art. no. 055011

We present a unified analysis of the two main production processes of vecto r boson pairs at the CERN LHC, VV-fusion and q (q) over bar annihilation, i n a minimal strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking sector. Usin g a unitarized electroweak chiral Lagrangian formalism and modeling the fin al VLVL strong rescattering effects by a form factor, we describe q (q) ove r bar annihilation processes in terms of the two chiral parameters that gov ern elastic VLVL scattering. Depending on the values of these two chiral pa rameters, the unitarized amplitudes may present resonant enhancements in di fferent angular momentum-isospin channels. Scanning this two parameter spac e, wt: generate the general resonance spectrum of a minimal strongly intera cting electroweak symmetry breaking sector and determine the regions that c an be probed at the CERN LHC.
