The {ital Z}-boson pair signal from strong {ital WW} scattering, {ital WW}{r arrow}{ital ZZ}, is significantly enhanced by a contribution from gluon-gluon fusion, {ital gg}{r arrow}{ital ZZ}, if {ital W}-boson and {ital t}-quark masses are both generated by electroweak symmetry-breaking condensates formed by quanta heavier than 1 TeV. By measuring the two components of the signal it will be possible to probe for different origins of the {ital W}-boson and {ital t}-quark masses.
