Observing Electroweak Symmetry Breaking at the SSC

In this talk we survey the SSC signals and backgrounds for the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking. We study the process $pp \rightarrow WWX$ and compute the rate for the ``gold-plated'' signals $W^\pm \rightarrow \ell^\pm \nu$ and $Z \rightarrow \ell^+\ell^-$ $(\ell = e,\mu)$ for a wide variety of models. We use a forward jet tag and central jet veto to suppress the standard-model backgrounds. In this way we estimate the SSC sensitivity to the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking.
