COMPOSE-IT: Unitarity for composite models and beyond in the HL-LHC era

27 Jan 2020, 10:00 → 28 Jan 2020, 19:00 Europe/Rome

Aula F (Dipartimento di Fisica e Geologia, Università degli Studi di Perugia)

Valentina Mariani (PG), Simone Biondini (Albert Einstein Center, Institute for Theoretical Physics - Uni Bern), Patrizia Azzi (PD), Orlando Panella (PG), Matteo Presilla (PD), Livio Fano' (PG)

The workshop has the goal to bring together theorists and experimentalists  working actively in the field of fermion composite models and the effective interactions of the hypothetical excited states with the ordinary SM particles. We shall focus on the issue of perturbative unitarity, which has been overlooked in these models, and assess its impact in the related experimental searches.

We plan to discuss such effective models, and possibly affine ones, in connection with the Run III of the LHC and of its forthcoming High-Luminosity and High-Energy options  with respect to possible signatures not yet covered and/or due to new exotic states.

6 Unitarization effects in EFT predictions of VBS at the LHC

Effective field theories are an incredibly powerful tool in order to study and understand the true nature of the symmetry breaking sector dynamics of the Standard Model. However, they can suffer from some theoretical problems such as that of unitarity violation. Nevertheless, in order to interpret experimental data correctly a fully unitary prescription is needed. To this purpose, unitarization methods are addressed, but each of them leads to a different (unitary) prediction. Because of this, there is an inherent theoretical uncertainty in the determination of the effective field theory parameters due to the choice of one unitarization scheme.
In this talk, I will present this uncertainty assuming a strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking sector, described by the effective electroweak chiral Lagrangian (or Higgs effective field theory). In particular, I focus on the WZ scattering as the main VBS channel to study the sensitivity to new physics at the LHC. Using various well known unitarization methods, I will show the different predictions at subprocess level, considering the full coupled system of helicity amplitudes. Then I will present the current experimental constraints and how the different predictions manifest in the pp collisions at the LHC. Finally, I will show the corresponding 95% C.L. exclusion regions for the most relevant electroweak chiral Lagrangian parameters involved in the WZ scattering depending on the unitarization method applied.

7 Unitarity Constraints in BSM: new results in the 331 Models

We discuss the main features of the scalar sector of a class of BSM models with enlarged gauge symmetry, the so called 331 Models. The theoretical constraints on the scalar potential such as unitarity, perturbativity and boundedness-from-below, are presented. These results are based on a very-recent analysis that is suitable to be used in phenomenological studies for the exotic scenarios predicted by the 331 Models.
