Unitarity In An Alternative Electroweak Theory

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

An electroweak (EW) model has been investigated (Moffat) in which the energy E<μ=λMWE < μ=\sqrtλM_W, where λλ is a gauge parameter and MWM_W is the WW boson mass. For large enough λλ the scalar boson mass μ=λMWμ=\sqrtλM_W can be heavy enough to avoid detection in LHC experiments. The theory is perturbatively renormalizable for the decoupled scalar interactions. The Born approximation tree graph unitarity can be ensured by postulating that the effective coupling constant geff(s)g_{\rm eff}(s) vanishes as 1/s1/\sqrt{s} or faster as s→∞s\rightarrow\infty, predicting that the EW interactions become weaker at high energies, and longitudinally polarized WLWL→WLWLW_L W_L\rightarrow W_L W_L scattering does not violate Born approximation tree graph unitarity.
