Improved BSM Sensitivity in Diboson Processes

Abstract

We study $W^{+}{W}^{-}$ and $Zh$ final states at future linear $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ colliders; designing analyses specific to the various final state polarizations allows us to target specific beyond the Standard Model (BSM) effects, parametrized in the form of dimension-6 operators. We find that CLIC can access effects roughly an order of magnitude smaller than HL-LHC or ILC, and two orders of magnitude smaller than LEP. These results are interpreted in the context of well-motivated BSM scenarios---at weak and strong coupling---where we expect correlated effects in Drell-Yann processes. The latter turn out to have better discovery potential, although the diboson processes provide additional discriminating power, potentially furnishing a way to measure the spin and coupling of BSM states.
