Two and three vector boson production in e+ e- collisions within the BESS model

The BESS model is the Higgsless alternative to the standard model of electroweak interaction with nonlinear realized spontaneous symmetry breaking. Since it is non-renormalizable new couplings (not existing in the SM) are induced at each loop order. On the basis of the one loop induced gauge boson self-couplings we calculated the cross sections for the two and three gauge boson production processes in

e^+e^-

collisions. Measurements of these cross sections in a planned

e^+e^-

linear collider at

\sqrt s = 500 GeV

(NLC) will supply a good empirical test of the gauge boson self interactions and thus should enable to discriminate between SM and its alternatives (BESS).
