Abstract
Pairs of like-charged bosons, and , are a unique probe of the electroweak-symmetry-breaking sector since they have no background from annihilation. We compute the observable signal in several models and the irreducible QCD background. We find that the signal will be observable at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) if and only if the symmetry-breaking sector is strongly interacting, provided the SSC operates at full energy and luminosity.
