Abstract

We define and calculate helicity partial-wave amplitudes for processes linking the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Sector (EWSBS) to γγ\gamma\gamma, employing (to NLO) the Higgs-EFT (HEFT) extension of the Standard Model and the Equivalence Theorem, while neglecting all particle masses. The resulting amplitudes can be useful in the energy regime (500GeV3TeV500\,{\rm GeV}-3\,{\rm TeV}). We also deal with their unitarization so that resonances of the EWSBS can simultaneously be described in the γγ\gamma\gamma initial or final states. Our resulting amplitudes satisfy unitarity, perturbatively in α\alpha, but for all ss values. In this way we improve on the HEFT that fails as interactions become stronger with growing ss and provide a natural framework for the decay of dynamically generated resonances into WWWW, ZZZZ and γγ\gamma\gamma pairs.
