High-Energy Vector-Boson Scattering with Non-Standard Interactions and the Role of a Scalar Sector

Abstract

The high-energy behavior of vector-boson scattering amplitudes is examined within an effective theory for non-standard self-interactions of electroweak vector-bosons. Irrespectively of whether this theory is brought into a gauge invariant form by including non-standard interactions of a Higgs particle I find that terms that grow particularly strongly with increasing scattering energy are absent. Different theories are compared concerning their high-energy behavior and the appearance of divergences at the one-loop level.
