Complementarity of Resonant and Nonresonant Strong $WW$ Scattering at the LHC

Abstract

We exhibit a complementary relationship between resonant $WZ$ and nonresonant $W^{+}{W}^{+}$ scattering in a chiral Lagrangian model of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector with a dominant ``$\rho$'' meson. We use the model to estimate the minimum luminosity for the LHC to ensure a ``no-lose'' capability to observe the symmetry breaking sector.
