Electroweak interactions become strong at energy above ∼ 10 TeV

Abstract
We study baryon-number-changing processes at high energy in electroweak theory. We find that at energies of the order of 10 TeV, some inelastic partial-wave amplitudes saturate the unitarity limit and the cross section for such processes becomes as large as σαw2MW2. We argue that at high energies, lepton interactions become strong with distributions of particles typical of strong-interaction processes. The multiplicity of particles in the final state is of order 1αw, the transverse momenta are of order MW, and the types of particles are primarily Higgs and gauge bosons and their decay products.
