Description
We study the possibility of fingerprinting a strongly interacting $W$ boson sector, consistent with present day LHC searches at the ILC with longitudinal as well as transversely polarized electron and positron beams. We account for the final state interaction using a suitable Omn\`es formalism in terms of a plausible resonance description, and carry out thorough analyses of cross sections, asymmetries and angular distributions of the $W's$. We also consider the effect of the strong final state interaction on a correlation that depends on $(\phi_--\phi_+)$, where the $\phi_\mp$ are the azimuthal angles of decay leptons, and find that it is a useful discriminant.
