• We discuss the sensitivity of a 100 TeV [rho][rho] collider to heavy resonances produced in longitudinal vector-boson scattering and decaying to a pair of Higgs bosons. A Monte Carlo study has been performed using the H arrow right [tau][tau] decay channel for both Higgs bosons, comparing the kinematics of such a signal to the irreducible Standard Model backgrounds. The results are presented in the context of a phenomenological model of a resonance ([eta]) coupling to Goldstone modes, V sub(L)V sub(L) arrow right HH, as can arise in composite Higgs models. With a fractional width of 70% (20%), the 5[sigma] discovery reach is 4.2 (2.9) TeV in resonance mass for 10 ab super(-1) of integrated luminosity. We also discuss the dependence of the mass reach on the collider energy and integrated luminosity.
