LIMITS ON ANOMALOUS COUPLINGS FROM HIGGS-BOSON PRODUCTION AT THE FERMILAB TEVATRON COLLIDER

We estimate the attainable limits on the coefficients of dimension-6 o perators from the analysis of Higgs boson phenomenology, in the framew ork of a SUL(2) X U-Y(1) gauge-invariant effective Lagrangian. Our res ults, based on the data sample already collected by the collaborations at Fermilab Tevatron, show that the coefficients of Higgs-vector boso n couplings can be determined with unprecedented accuracy. Assuming th at the coefficients of all ''blind'' operators are of the same magnitu de, we are also able to impose more restrictive bounds on the anomalou s vector-boson triple couplings than the present limit from double gau ge boson production at the Tevatron collider.
