Abstract
It has been recently proposed by Dvali et al 1 that high energy scattering in nonrenormalizable theories like the higgsless Standard Model can be unitarized by the formation of classical configurations called classicalons In this work we argue that clas sicalons should have analogs of thermodynamic properties like temperature and entropy and perform a modelindependent statistical mechanical analysis of classicalon decays We find that in the case of massless quanta the decay products have a Planck distribution with an effective temperature textTsim 1/textr where r ∗ is the classicalon radius These results in particular a computation of the decay multiplicity N ∗ allow us to make the first collider analysis of classicalization In the model for unitarization of WW scattering by classical ization of longitudinal Ws and Zs we get spectacular multiW/Z final states that decay into leptons missing energy and a very high multiplicity at least 10 of jets We find that for the classicalization scale M = upsilon = 246 textGeVtextM = text1TeV discovery should be possible in the present 7 TeV 14 TeV run of the LHC with about 10 fb−1 100 fb−1 data We also consider a model to solve the hierarchy problem where the classicalons are configurations of the Higgs field which decay into to multiHiggs boson final states We find that in this case for M ∗ = 500 GeV M ∗ = 1 TeV discovery should be possible in the top fusion process with about 10 fb−1 100 fb−1 data at 14 TeV LHCThis article is published under an open access license Please check the Copyright Information section for details of this license and what reuse is permitted If your intended use exceeds what is permitted by the license or if you are unable to locate the licence and reuse information please contact the Rights and Permissions team
