On the Possibility of Resonances in Longitudinally Polarized Vector Boson Scattering

Abstract

Assuming that no Higgs has been found below 1 TeV, we study the physics of longitudinally polarized vector boson ( ) scattering in the TeV region, using a one loop calculation and partial wave analysis. We show that the occurrence of a resonance in the isospin I = 1 channel depends on a certain parameter called which is measured near threshold. We investigate the similarity between low energy scattering and high energy scattering, as suggested by the equivalence theorem.
