Abstract

We study the gold-plated purely leptonic signal and background rates at the CERN LHC for the ZZ, W+W−, W±Z, and W±W± final states associated with strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking. We work at an energy of √s =14 TeV, and develop a combination of back-to-back leptonic, central-jet-vetoing, and forward-jet-tagging cuts that suppresses the standard-model backgrounds. We find that the LHC with an annual luminosity of 100 fb−1 will achieve a reasonably good sensitivity to the physics of strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking.
