Abstract
We remark that the high energy gauge boson scattering processes involving two-body initial and final states, satisfy certain selection rules described as helicity conservation of the \underline{gauge boson} amplitudes (GBHC). These rules are valid at Born level, as well as at the level of the leading and sub-leading 1-loop logarithmic corrections, in both the Standard Model (SM) and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). A "fermionic equivalence" theorem is also proved, which suggests that GBHC is valid at all orders in MSSM at sufficiently high energies, where the mass suppressed contributions are neglected.
