Strong WW Scattering at Photon Linear Colliders

Abstract

We investigate the possibility of observing strong interactions of longitudinally polarized weak vector bosons in the process γγZZ\gamma \gamma \to ZZ at a photon linear collider. We make use of polarization of the photon beams and cuts on the decay products of the ZZ bosons to enhance the signal relative to the background of transversely polarized ZZZZ pairs. We find that the background overwhelms the signal unless there are strong resonant effects, as for instance from a technicolor analogue of the hadronic f2(1270)f_2(1270) meson.
