STRONGLY INTERACTING WW SYSTEM - GOLD-PLATED MODES

In this paper we survey the signals and backgrounds for a strongly interacting electroweak symmetry-breaking sector at hadron supercolliders in the TeV region. We study the process pp-->WWX, and compute the rates for the ''gold-plated'' channels, where W-+/--->l(+/-)v and Z-->l(+)l(-) (l=e,mu), for a wide variety of models. Using a forward jet-tag, a central jet-veto, and a back-to-back lepton cut to suppress the standard model backgrounds, we demonstrate that the SSC and CERN LHC have substantial sensitivity to strong interactions in the electroweak symmetry-breaking sector.
