The Bess Model at e+ e- Colliders

Abstract

We consider the possibility of detecting vector resonances from a strong electroweak sector, in the framework of the BESS model, at future $e^+ e^-$ colliders up to the TeV range. If the mass $M_V$ of the new vector boson multiplet is not far above or if it is below the maximum machine energy, such a contribution would be manifest. The process of $W$-pair production by $e^+e^-$ annihilation allows for sensitive tests of the strong sector, especially if the $W$ polarizations are reconstructed.
