Proposals for Studying TeV $WW \to WW$ Interactions Experimentally

We discuss how to experimentally study the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) sector by observing $WW \to WW$ interactions in the TeV region. We discuss some general features of the event structure in the signal and the background events. Various techniques to enhance the signal-to-background ratio are also presented. We show how to detect longitudinal W-bosons either in the central rapidity region of the detector or in the beam pipe direction. Finally, we globally classify the sensitivities of the Large Hadron Collider and the Linear Colliders to probing the next-to-leading order bosonic operators of the electroweak chiral lagrangian used to parametrize models of strongly coupled EWSB sector.
