Description

We discuss how one can differentiate between various theories of the symmetry breaking sector of electroweak interactions using WW scattering at high energies. The tool is the study of deviations from the universal lowest order nonlinear sigma model predictions for these amplitudes. The Higgs scheme and technicolor are used as examples, and these yield distinctly different behaviors. (orig.)
