Unitarity In An Alternative Electroweak Theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2012-01-04 v1

Abstract

An electroweak (EW) model has been investigated (Moffat) in which the energy E<μ=λMWE < \mu=\sqrt{\lambda}M_W, where λ\lambda is a gauge parameter and MWM_W is the WW boson mass. For large enough λ\lambda the scalar boson mass μ=λMW\mu=\sqrt{\lambda}M_W can be heavy enough to avoid detection in LHC experiments. The theory is perturbatively renormalizable for the decoupled scalar interactions. The Born approximation tree graph unitarity can be ensured by postulating that the effective coupling constant geff(s)g_{\rm eff}(s) vanishes as 1/s1/\sqrt{s} or faster as ss\rightarrow\infty, predicting that the EW interactions become weaker at high energies, and longitudinally polarized WLWLWLWLW_L W_L\rightarrow W_L W_L scattering does not violate Born approximation tree graph unitarity.
