What if no Higgs?
Consistency of SM is lost SM Effective theory Why does SM with weak radiative
corrections work so well? MSSM not a viable replacement
EWWG 05
Where do we look for clues to what lies beyond SM ?

Boson-Boson scattering and Unitarity
![Page 6: 1 Higgs, Top and Boson Boson Scattering Six fermion simulations at the LHC E. Maina U. Torino MCWG Frascati Feb 27, 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5697c0271a28abf838cd65f5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Unitarity
Expand Amp in partial waves M=∑j aj (s) Pj (cos(ϑ)) SS†=1 ⇒ |aj(s)|≤1 Low Energy Th. M(VV→VV)∝s/v2 No H
Unitarization: one example
aj = a0j /(1-ia0j) a0j∝s
Small s LET⇒Large s a⇒ j→1
NOT UNIQUE!!Works well in ππ

Unitarization: eg: Butterworth,Cox,Forshaw PRD65(02)96014different ways of constructing amplitudes which are unitary from low order amp
Must be prepared for the unexpectedMust know SM “background” e.g VTVT

QCD is flavour blind: smaller number of basic amps

Adaptive integration (VEGAS) Adapts well to cuts Rough estimate of integrand shape usually enough Fails if too many peaks or along diagonals
Multichannel Requires a large number of channels All channels are integrated over simultaneously Sensitive to cuts, efficiency generally small Adapts varying the channel relative weight
Iterative-Adaptive Multichannel NEW! (Phase+Phantom)
Merges best feautures of both! Adapts well to cuts Rough estimate of integrand shape enough Small number of channels required (Multimapping) Channels are integrated separately Good efficiency
