Improved Effective Vector-Boson Approximation for Hadron-Hadron Collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-07-19 v1

Abstract

An improved effective vector-boson approximation is applied to hadron-hadron collisions. I include an approximative treatment and compare with a complete perturbative calculation for the specific example of ZZZZ production. The results are also compared with existing approaches. The effective vector-boson approximation in this form is accurate enough to reproduce the complete calculation within 10%. This is true even far away from a possible Higgs boson resonance where the transverse intermediate vector-bosons give the dominant contribution.
