Abstract:
We investigate the sensitivity of the reaction to the Higgs sector based on the complete one-loop corrections in the minimal Standard Model and the gauged non-linear -model. While this sensitivity is very strong for the suppressed cross-section of equally polarized photons and longitudinal W bosons, it is only marginal for the dominant mode of transverse polarizations. The corrections within the -model turn out to be UV-finite in accordance with the absence of \log\MH terms in the Standard Model with a heavy Higgs boson.- photon photon: interaction
