Abstract
The scattering of longitudinally polarized W bosons in extensions of the Standard Model with anomalous Higgs couplings to the gauge sector and higher order operators is considered. The modified couplings should be thought as the low energy remnants of some new dynamics involving the electroweak symmetry breaking sector. By imposing unitarity and causality constraints on scattering amplitudes we relate the possible values of the effective couplings to the presence of new resonances above 300 GeV. We investigate the properties of these new resonances and their experimental detectability.
