Strongly interacting vector bosons at TeV e+/-e- linear colliders

In the absence of light Higgs bosons, the W and Z bosons become strongly interacting particles at energies of about 1 TeV. If the longitudinal W,Z components are generated by Goldstone modes associated with spontaneous symmetry breaking in a new strong interaction theory, the quasi-elastic W,Z scattering amplitudes can be predicted as a systematic chiral expansion in the energy. We study the potential of TeV e(+)e(-) and e(-)e(-) linear colliders in investigating these scattering processes. We estimate the accuracy with which the coefficients of the chiral expansion can be measured in a multi-parameter analysis. The measurements will provide us with a quantitative test of the dynamics underlying the W,Z interactions.
