abstract
We study the scattering of longitudinally polarized W bosons in extensions of the Standard Model where anomalous Higgs couplings to gauge sector and higher order O(p^4) operators are considered. These new couplings with respect to the Standard Model should be thought as the low energy remnants of some new dynamics involving the electroweak symmetry breaking sector. By imposing unitarity and causality constraints on the WW scattering amplitudes we find relevant restrictions on the possible values of the new couplings and the presence of new resonances above 300 GeV. We investigate the properties of these new resonances and their experimental detectability. Custodial symmetry is assumed to be exact throughout and the calculation avoids using the Equivalence Theorem as much as possible.

The W and Z scattering as a probe of physics beyond the Standard Model: Effective Field Theory approach
Using partial-wave unitarity to bound the valid energy range of SMEFT and HEFT operators, the thesis finds non-empty discovery regions for beyond-Standard-Model effects in same-sign WW scattering at HL-LHC and HE-LHC.
