Abstract
We propose and theoretically study a possible new resonance caused by strong coupling between the Higgs-Higgs and the W_LW_L (Z_L Z_L) scattering channels, without regard to the intensity of the elastic interaction in either channel at low energy (that could be weak as in the standard model). We expose this channel-coupling resonance from unitarity and dispersion relations encoded in the inverse amplitude method, applied to the electroweak chiral Lagrangian with a scalar Higgs boson.

[22] Outside particle physics, one can find strongly coupled channels with small elastic interaction. For example, C2 þ O2 → C2 þ O2 or CO þ CO → CO þ CO elastic scattering is negligible against the channel coupling C2 þ O2 → 2CO, a strong exothermic oxidation reaction, freeing almost 11 eV, driven by the large phase space. What is perhaps distinctive in our mechanism is that the channel-coupling probability is large, with no phase space advantage (all particles being approximately massless).
