Area of Science:

• High Energy Physics
• Particle Physics
• Theoretical Physics

Background:

• The Standard Model describes fundamental particles and forces.
• Electroweak interactions are key to particle physics.
• Higgs boson interactions are crucial for mass generation.

Purpose of the Study:

• To theoretically investigate a potential new resonance.
• To explore strong coupling effects in Higgs and W/Z boson scattering.
• To analyze resonance formation independent of low-energy elastic interactions.

Main Methods:
