4-WEAK-BOSON PRODUCTION AT E+E- AND PP SUPERCOLLIDERS

We evaluate the cross sections for W+W-W+W- and ZZZZ production in e+e- and pp collisions. For four-W production, the predicted cross section is 0.7-1.8 fb at a s=2 TeV e+e- collider, and 6-23 fb at the Superconducting Super Collider, depending on the Higgs-boson mass. The Higgs-boson contributions to four-weak-boson production processes are more significant than in the case of three-weak-boson production and would enhance the above cross sections by about a factor of 4 if mH0.3 TeV. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
