Describing 2-TeV scale WL WL resonances with Unitarized Effective Theory
Abstract
The LHC is now exploring the 1-3 TeV scale where resonances of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Sector might exist. If so, Unitarized Effective Theory can be used to describe the data with all the constraints of unitarity, causality and global-symmetry breaking, and to find the resonance positions in the complex s-plane. From any resonances found, one can infer the parameters of the universal Effective Lagrangian, and those may be used to inform higher-energy theories (UV completions) that can be matched to it. We exemplify with two-body resonances in the coupled channels hh and WL WL- ZL ZL employing the Equivalence Theorem and comment on the apparent excess in the ATLAS dijet data at 2 TeV.
