Strongly Interacting Vector Bosons at TeV e+-e- Linear Colliders -Addendum-

Abstract

Extending earlier investigations, we analyze the quasi-elastic scattering of strongly interacting electroweak bosons at high-energy e+-e- colliders. The three processes e+e- -> bar-nu nu W+W-, bar-nu nu ZZ, and e-e- -> W-W- are examined at a c.m. energy of 1 TeV for high-luminosity runs. The expected experimental error on the scattering amplitude, parameter-free to leading order in the chiral expansion of the WW interactions, is estimated for 1 TeV colliders at the level of ten percent, providing a stringent test of strong interaction mechanisms for breaking the electroweak symmetries.
