F. Decampos et al., ANOMALOUS COUPLINGS IN E(-)-]W+W- GAMMA AT CERN LEP-2 AND NLC()E(), Physical review. D. Particles and fields, 56(7), 1997, pp. 4384-4391
We present sensitivity limits on the coefficients of a dimension-6 eff
ective Lagrangian that parametrizes the possible effects of new physic
s beyond the standard model. Our results are based on the study of the
process e(+)e(-)-->W+W- y at CERN LEP 2 and NLC energies. In our calc
ulations, we include all the new anomalous interactions, involving vec
tors and Higgs bosons, and take into account the standard model irredu
cible background. We analyze the impact of these new interactions on t
he total cross section. including the effects of the initial electron
and final W polarizations. We then focus on the operators that will no
t be constrained by the e(+)e(-)-->W+W- process, obtaining limits base
d on the photon energy distribution.
