Abstract
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.
