What if only a light Higgs boson is discovered at the CERN LHC? Conventional wisdom tells us that the scattering of longitudinal weak gauge bosons would not grow strong at high energies. We show that this is not always true. In some…

We discuss the conditions for an effective field theory (EFT) to give an adequate low-energy description of an underlying physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Starting from the EFT where the SM is extended by dimension-6 operators,…
The process of vector boson scattering is of great interest because it is completely prescribed in the Standard Model (SM) once the Higgs mass is known. The LHC is a source of Z-Z pairs produced by means of the vector boson fusion mechanism…
