CERN LHC analysis of the strongly interacting {ital WW} system: Gold-plated modes
- Department of Physics and Astronomy, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland 21218 (United States)
We study the gold-plated purely leptonic signal and background rates at the CERN LHC for the {ital ZZ}, {ital W}{sup +}{ital W}{sup {minus}}, {ital W}{sup {plus_minus}}{ital Z}, and {ital W}{sup {plus_minus}}{ital W}{sup {plus_minus}} final states associated with strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking. We work at an energy of {radical}{ital s} =14 TeV, and develop a combination of back-to-back leptonic, central-jet-vetoing, and forward-jet-tagging cuts that suppresses the standard-model backgrounds. We find that the LHC with an annual luminosity of 100 fb{sup {minus}1} will achieve a reasonably good sensitivity to the physics of strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking.
