Radiative corrections to WW scattering in the standard model.

The one-loop radiative corrections to $W\sp{+}W\sp{-} \to W\sp{+}W\sp{-}, W\sp0 W\sp0 \to W\sp{+}W\sp{-}$ and $W\sp0 W\sp0$ $\to$ $W\sp0 W\sp0$ scatterings are calculated in the limit where $m\sb{higgs} \gg E\sb{c.m.} \gg M\sb{W}$. Leading terms that grow like $E\sbsp{c.m.}{4}$ and $E\sbsp{c.m.}{4}$log($E\sbsp{c.m.}{2})$ are given. The results are shown to be independent of the experiments chosen to fix the free parameters of the theory.Ph.D.High energy physicsPure SciencesUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.
