Abstract

In the absence of a Higgs particle vector boson scattering amplitudes are generally described by an electroweak chiral Lagrangian below the resonance region. For a Linear Collider with CMS energy s=1.6TeV\sqrt{s}=1.6 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 200fb1200 fb^{-1} we estimate the sensitivity on the chiral parameters α4\alpha_4 and α5\alpha_5. We consider the processes e+eW+Wνˉνe^+e^-\to W^+W^-\bar\nu\nu and e+eZZνˉνe^+e^- \to ZZ\bar\nu\nu, performing a complete calculation which includes all relevant Feynman diagrams at tree level, without relying on the Equivalence Theorem or the Effective WW Approximation. The dominant backgrounds and W/ZW/Z misidentification probabilities are accounted for.
