If the WWH coupling vanishes, the Higgs boson cannot contribute to the unitarization.

This occurs in the Gauge-Higgs Unification modelsin the warped spacetime.

We numerically estimate • scattering amplitudes for W, Z bosons• a scale at which the tree-level unitarity is violated in the Gauge-Higgs Unification.

Purpose

Extra-dimensional models are non-renormalizable

Tree-level unitarity will be violated at some scale.

From naïve dimensional analysis,

Summary

• Weak boson scattering in GHU model

• Equivalence theorem holds well.

• Amplitudes have large -dependencein the warped spacetime.

• Tree-level unitarity is violated at

Advantages

• the knowledge of the KK mass eigenvalues• summation over infinite KK modes

Comment on

Thus, the S-wave amplitude diverges.

Taking into account the width of the W boson, the divergence at is smeared out.
