Systematic derivation of perturbative unitarity bounds for any models
In this letter, we provide a simple algorithm, anyPUB , to systematically derive the 2 → 2 scattering matrix in the high-energy limit for any kind of models, irrespective of their gauge group or their field representation. After computing the eigenvalues analytically and/or numerically from this matrix, we impose perturbative unitarity bounds on them. We tested our method on various models and validated the results against the literature. Finally, as a concrete application of our approach, we discuss the case of the minimal left-right symmetric model and derive, for the first time, the perturbative unitarity constraints in the Pati-Salam model.
