Abstract
We discuss the tests of general Triple Gauge Boson Vertices (TGV) thro ugh bosonic pair production at present and future hadron colliders. Al l bosonic final states are reviewed via the tree level quark-antiquark annihilation sub-processes. The full analytic expressions of the heli city amplitudes and cross-sections are given. These expressions should be useful in any attempt to disentangle the effects of the most gener al non standard WWV(V = gamma,Z) vertices including 14 free parameters . We investigate the sensitivity of the invariant mass and transverse momentum distributions to the full set of anomalous couplings includin g final state polarization structures. We particularly consider these features at the projected CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energy scal e.
