  "abstract": "We study kinematical properties of the process l − l + → ν ν ¯ Z h at future TeV-scale lepton colliders. We classify the Feynman amplitudes into three main topological categories: vector-boson scattering, l − W + scattering, and W − l + scattering contributions, and analyze the interference patterns among these amplitudes in both the recently proposed Feynman-diagram (FD) gauge and the conventional unitary gauge. We demonstrate that the rapidity distributions of the Z boson closely resemble those in l − l + → ν ν ¯ Z , while the Higgs-boson rapidity distribution is significantly different: Higgs bosons are produced nearly isotropically, whereas longitudinally polarized Z bosons are enhanced in the forward and backward regions. We find that this difference is traced to the topology-dependent structure of the FD-gauge amplitudes. We also demonstrate that suitable kinematical cuts can isolate specific subamplitudes, enabling partial FD-gauge amplitudes to effectively describe physical distributions.",
