Electroweak Interactions: Summary

The session on precision studies of electroweak interactions is summarized. The contributions address the bilinear, trilinear, quartic as well as heavy-quark interactions of the electroweak gauge bosons. This makes up a picture of the physics of electroweak symmetry and symmetry breaking which can be investigated with the proposed design of e+e- Linear Colliders and detectors.Comment: 8 pages, no figures, uses aipproc.sty.

NLO Simulations of Chargino Production at the ILC

We present an extension of the Monte Carlo Event Generator Whizard which includes chargino production at the ILC at NLO. We present two ways of adding photonic contributions. We present results for cross sections and event generation.Comment: 4 pages, to appear in Proceedings of SUSY06, the 14th International Conference on Supersymmetry and the Unification of Fundamental Interactions, UC Irvine, California, 12-17 June 200

Delaunay Ends of Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces

The generalized Weierstrass representation is used to analyze the asymptotic behavior of a constant mean curvature surface that arises locally from an ordinary differential equation with a regular singularity. We prove that a holomorphic perturbation of an ODE that represents a Delaunay surface generates a constant mean curvature surface which has a properly immersed end that is asymptotically Delaunay. Furthermore, that end is embedded if the Delaunay surface is unduloidal

Simplified Models for New Physics in Vector Boson Scattering - Input for Snowmass 2013

In this contribution to the Snowmass process 2013 (which is a preliminary version of [1]) we give a brief review of how new physics could enter in the electroweak (EW) sector of the Standard Model (SM). This new physics, if it is directly accessible at low energies, can be parameterized by explicit resonances having certain quantum numbers. The extreme case is the decoupling limit where those resonances are very heavy and leave only traces in the form of deviations in the SM couplings. Translations are given into higher-dimensional operators leading to such deviations. As long as such resonances are introduced without a UV-complete theory behind it, these models suffer from unitarity violation of perturbative scattering amplitudes. We show explicitly how theoretically sane descriptions could be achieved by using a unitarization prescription that allows a correct description of such a resonance without specifying a UV-complete model.Comment: A Snowmass White Paper, minor typos, one formula update
