Description

In this short talk we revisit the treatment of weak gauge bosons as constituents of high-energy leptons. In particular, using a new, public implementation of (polarized) W/Z parton distribution functions in the Monte Carlo event generator MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, we report the size of universal, i.e., process independent, corrections that spoil the accuracy of a scattering/factorization formula for multi-TeV muon colliders. Guided by this insight, we give an outlook for polarized EW boson scattering at many TeVs.
