Description

We identify and study the signatures of the recently proposed Higgsless models at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We concentrate on tests of the mechanism of partial unitarity restoration in the longitudinal vector boson scattering, which is crucial to the phenomenological success of any Higgsless model and does not depend on the model-building details. We investigate the discovery reach for charged massive vector boson resonances and show that all of the preferred parameter space will be probed with 100 fb-1 of LHC data. Unitarity restoration requires that the masses and couplings of the resonances obey certain sum rules. We discuss the prospects for their experimental verification at the LHC
