2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/148043We formulate the equivalence between the longitudinal weak-boson and the Goldstone boson as a criterion for sensitively probing the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism and develop a precise power counting rule for chiral Lagrangian formulated electroweak theories. With these we semi-quatitatively analyze the sensitivities to various effective operators related to electrowaeak symmetry breaking via weak-boson scatterings at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC).6 pages, LaTex, 1 postscript figure included using psfig.texHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyLongitudinal/Goldstone boson equivalence and phenomenology of probing the electroweak symmetry breakingtext
