Abstract: In the framework of a strong dynamics for Electro-Weak Symmetry Breaking (EWSB), both vector and scalar degrees of freedom have been studied in the literature within an effective Lagrangian approach. Here we consider the case in which both a scalar, $h$, and a vector, $V$ - respectively an iso-singlet and an iso-triplet under a custodial SU(2) - are relevant with a mass below the cut-off $Lambdaapprox4piv$. We study the amplitudes for the processes $W_L{W}_{L}o{W}_L{W}_L,hh,V_L{V}_L,V_{L}h$. Requiring unitarity for the elastic channel $W_L{W}_{L}o{W}_L{W}_L$ we can reduce the parameter space to two free parameters for given masses of the heavy vector and the scalar. We study the numerical total cross sections for the associated productions $ppoVhjj$ by Vector Boson Fusion (VBF) and $ppoVh$ by Drell-Yan (DY) annihilation as functions of these free parameters. The expected rates of same-sign di-lepton and tri-lepton events from the decay of the $Vh$ final state are also given.
