In high-energy collisions far above the electroweak scale, the effects of electroweak symmetry breaking are expected to become parametrically small δ∼M_{W}/E. This defines the extent to which the electroweak gauge symmetry is restored: (i) the physics of the transverse gauge bosons and fermions is described by a massless theory in the unbroken phase; (ii) the longitudinal gauge bosons behave like the Goldstone bosons and join the Higgs boson to restore the unbroken O(4) symmetry in the original Higgs sector. Using the unique feature of the radiation amplitude zeros in gauge theory, we propose to study the electroweak symmetry restoration quantitatively by examining the processes for the gauge boson pair production W^{±}γ,W^{±}Z, and W^{±}H at the LHC and muon colliders.

Consider the electromagnetic wave passing through a dielectric medium. In such a case, Maxwell's equations get modified. In Ampere's law, ε0 , the dielectric permittivity of free space is replaced with ε, the permittivity of dielectric. Also, the vacuum permeability μ0 is replaced by the permeability of the medium, μ.
