Probing strongly interacting W's at the ILC with polarized beams    [PDF]

B. Ananthanarayan, Monalisa Patra, P. Poulose
We study the possibility of fingerprinting a strongly interacting $W$ boson
sector which is consistent with present day LHC searches at the ILC with
longitudinal as well as transversely polarized electron and positron beams. We
account for the final state interaction using a suitable Omn\`es formalism in
terms of a plausible resonance description, and carry out thorough analyses of
cross sections, asymmetries and angular distributions of the $W's$. We carry
out a comparison with other extensions of the Standard Model, where heavy
additional $Z'$ bosons arise naturally. We also consider the effect of the
strong final state interaction on a correlation that depends on
$(\phi_--\phi_+)$, where the $\phi_\mp$ are the azimuthal angles of decay
leptons, and find that it is a useful discriminant.
