Weak vector boson scattering (VBS) at high energies will be one of the key measurements in current and upcoming LHC runs. It is most sensitive to any new physics associated with electroweak symmetry breaking. However, a conventional EFT analysis will fail at high energies.
In this talk I present an extension of the bottom-up EFT, which includes the 125 GeV Higgs boson. Within a simplified model the effects of generic tensor and scalar resonances are considered. The spurious degrees of freedom of tensor resonances that would lead to bad high-energy behavior are treated using a gen- eralization of the Stueckelberg formalism. To ensure that the scattering amplitudes are well behaved on the whole phase space, the T-matrix unitarization procedure is used.
The implementation of this model into the Monte Carlo generator WHIZARD can be used for further studies at the LHC as I will show with exemplary plots.
