Description

Using the effective-W approximation, we calculate the invariant-mass distribution for the production of W+W+ (W-W-) via W+W+ (W-W-) fusion at a pp collider with an energy of 40 TeV. These results are compared with the corresponding results for the production of W+W- via W+W- fusion. All W polarizations are taken into account. We also study the effects of the unitarity in the W+W+ (W-W-) scattering, with particular attention to the possibility that the signal for longitudinally polarized W's will be enhanced when the Higgs sector is strongly interacting
