Discovery limits for Techni-Omega production in eγ Collisions

Original · EN

In a strongly-interacting electroweak sector with an isosinglet vector state, such as the techni-omega, ωₜ, the direct ωₜ Z γ coupling implies that an ωₜ can be produced by Z γ fusion in e γ collisions. This is a unique feature for high energy e+e- or e-e- colliders operating in an eγ mode. We consider the processes e- γ→ e- Zγ and e- γ→ e- W+ W- Z, both of which proceed via an intermediate ωₜ. We find that at a 1.5 TeV e+e- linear collider operating in an eγ mode with an integrated luminosity of 200 fb⁻¹, we can discover an ωₜ for a broad range of masses and widths.
