We present a study of the production of vector resonances at the LHC via $W^+Z$ vector boson scattering and explore the sensitivities to these resonances for expected LHC luminosities. We work in the framework of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian, where these resonances can be generated dynamically by unitarizing the scattering amplitudes. We implement all these features into a model adapted for MonteCarlo, the IAM-MC, that allows us to give predictions for the sensitivity to these resonances and to the relevant parameters involved for $pp to W^+Zjj$, $ppto ell_1^+ell_1^-ell_2^+ u jj$, and $pp to JJjj$.

In the present work we study the production of vector resonances at the LHC by means of the vector boson scattering $WZ to WZ$ and explore the sensitivities to these resonances for the expected future LHC luminosities. We are assuming that these vect or resonances are generated dynamically from the self interactions of the longitudinal gauge bosons, $W_L$ and $Z_L$, and work under the framework of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian to describe in a model independent way the supposedly strong dynamics of these modes. The properties of the vector resonances, mass, width and couplings to the $W$ and $Z$ gauge bosons are derived from the inverse amplitude method approach. We implement all these features into a single model, the IAM-MC, adapted for MonteCarlo, built in a Lagrangian language in terms of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian and a chiral Lagrangian for the vector resonances, which mimics the resonant behavior of the IAM and provides unitary amplitudes. The model has been implemented in MadGraph, allowing us to perform a realistic study of the signal versus background events at the LHC. In particular, we have focused our study on the $ppto WZjj$ type of events, discussing first on the potential of the hadronic and semileptonic channels of the final $WZ$, and next exploring in more detail the clearest signals. These are provided by the leptonic decays of the gauge bosons, leading to a final state with $ell_1^+ell_1^-ell_2^+ u jj$, $ell=e,mu$, having a very distinctive signature, and showing clearly the emergence of the resonances with masses in the range of 1.5-2.5 TeV, which we have explored.
Higgs Effective Field Theory (HEFT) is deployed to study elastic vector-boson scattering at the high LHC energies. The interaction is strong over most of the parameter space, with the minimal Standard Model being a remarkable exception. One-loop HEFT complemented with dispersion relations and the Equivalence Theorem leads to two different unitarization methods which produce analytical amplitudes corresponding to different approximate solutions to the dispersion relations: the Inverse Amplitude method (IAM) and the N/D method. The partial waves obtained can show poles in the second Riemann sheet whose natural interpretation is that of dynamical resonances with masses and widths depending on the starting HEFT parameters. Different unitarizations yield qualitatively, and in many cases quantitatively, very similar results. The amplitudes obtained provide realistic resonant and nonresonant cross sections to be compared with and to be used for a proper interpretation of the LHC data.
Randall-Sundrum models based on SU(2)_L * SU(2)_R with custodial symmetry are compelling frameworks for building alternative models of electroweak symmetry breaking. A particular feature of these models is the likely presence of light Kaluza-Klein fe rmions related to the right-handed top quark. These can be as light as a few hundred GeV and still compatible with EW precision constraints. In this article, we study the detectability of four-W final states at the LHC, which arise from the pair-production and tW decay of light Kaluza-Klein bottom quarks as well as light Kaluza-Klein quarks carrying electric charge 5/3.
We explore direct collider probes of the resonant leptogenesis mechanism for the origin of matter. We work in the context of theories where the Standard Model is extended to include an additional gauged U(1) symmetry broken at the TeV scale, and wher e the light neutrinos obtain mass through a Type I seesaw at this scale. The CP asymmetry that generates the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry manifests itself in a difference between the number of positive and negative like-sign dileptons N(ell^+ell^+)-N(ell^-ell^-) that arise in the decay of the new Z gauge boson to two right-handed neutrinos N, and their subsequent decay to leptons. The relatively low efficiency of resonant leptogenesis in this class of models implies that the CP asymmetry, epsilon, is required to be sizable, i.e. of order one. In particular, from the sign of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, emph{an excess of antileptons is predicted}. We identify the domains in M_{Z}--M_N space where such a direct test is possible and find that with 300~fb^{-1} of data and no excess found, the LHC can set the $2sigma$ exclusion limit epsilon lesssim 0.22.
The determination of the $W$-boson mass through an analysis of the decay charged-lepton transverse momentum distribution has a sizable uncertainty due to the imperfect knowledge of the relevant parton distribution functions (PDFs). In this paper, a q uantitative assessment of the $W$-boson mass uncertainty at the LHC resulting from the PDF uncertainty is examined. We use the CT14 NNLO PDFs with a NNLL + NNLO calculation (ResBos) to simulate the $W$-boson production and decay kinematics. The uncertainty of the $W$-boson mass determination is then determined as a function of the boson and lepton kinematics. For $W^{+}$ production using $P_{T}^{W} < 15$ GeV and $35 < P_{T}^{l}$ (GeV) $< 45$, PDF uncertainties (at the 68% CL) of $^{+16.0}_{-17.5}$ MeV, $^{+13.9}_{-14.8}$ MeV, and $^{+12.2}_{-19.2}$ MeV, are determined at 7 TeV, 8 TeV and 13 TeV respectively. The uncertainties of $W^{-}$ for the same cuts are found to be $^{+15.9}_{-15.6}$ MeV, $^{+15.0}_{-12.7}$ MeV and $^{+14.8}_{-15.3}$ MeV, at 7 TeV, 8 TeV and 13 TeV respectively.
