Abstract
We estimate production cross sections for 2-body resonances of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking sector (in W

+ collisions at energies of order 1–2 TeV (as relevant for future lepton machines) and pp collisions at LHC energies. Dynamically generating a spin-0 resonance around 1.5 TeV (by appropriately choosing the parameters of the effective theory) we find that the differential cross section per unit s, p

is of order 0.01 fbarn/TeV4 at the LHC. Injecting a spin-2 resonance around 2 TeV we find an additional factor 100 suppression for p

up to 200 GeV. The very small cross sections put these γγ processes, though very clean, out of reach of immediate future searches.
