 Search for heavy resonances in vector boson fusion / Zhang, Guangyi (University of Science and Technology of China) If the Higgs boson discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is not exactly the one in the Standard Model, an alternative mechanism is needed to restore unitarity in the scattering amplitude of longitudinal gauge bosons, and new resonances may appear.
