Signals of the degenerate BESS model at the LHC

Abstract

We discuss the possible signals of the degenerate BESS model at the LHC. This model describes a strongly interacting scenario responsible of the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak symmetry. It predicts two triplets of extra gauge bosons which are almost degenerate in mass. Due to this feature, the model has the property of decoupling and therefore, at low energies (below or of the order of $100GeV$) it is nearly indistinguishable from the Standard Model. However the new resonances, both neutral and charged, should give quite spectacular signals at the LHC, where the c.o.m. energy will allow to produce these gauge bosons directly.
