Probing Near-Conformal Technicolor through Weak Boson Scattering
arXiv:1209.5913 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.88.015013
Abstract
The recently observed boson at 125 GeV could be a light composite scalar from near-conformal technicolor dynamics: a technicolor Higgs. If this is the case, unitarization of longitudinal weak boson scattering amplitudes, which is due to exchanges of the Higgs and spin-one vector technimesons, is expected to occur in a strong regime, with saturation of the unitarity bounds. This implies that processes, where is either a or a boson, are enhanced, relative to the standard model. We show that this allows probing near-conformal technicolor for couplings and masses of the spin-one resonances which are not directly accessible for direct Drell-Yan production.
