S. Abachi et al., STUDIES OF GAUGE BOSON PAIR PRODUCTION AND TRILINEAR COUPLINGS, Physical review. D. Particles and fields, 56(11), 1997, pp. 6742-6778
The gauge boson pair production processes W gamma, WW, WZ, and Z gamma
were studied using p (p) over bar p collisions corresponding to an in
tegrated luminosity of approximately 14 pb(-1) at a center-of-mass ene
rgy of root s = 1.8 TeV. Analysis of W gamma production with subsequen
t W boson decay to l nu (l = e, mu) is reported, including a fit to th
e p(T) spectrum of the photons which leads to limits on anomalous WW g
amma couplings. A search for WW production with subsequent decay to ll
nu<(nu)over bar> (l = e, mu) is presented, leading to an upper limit
on the WW production cross section and limits on anomalous WW gamma an
d WWZ couplings. A search for high p(T) W bosons in WW and WZ producti
on is described, where one W boson decays to an electron and a neutrin
o and the second W boson or the Z boson decays to two jets. A maximum
likelihood fit to the p(T) spectrum of W bosons resulted in limits on
anomalous WW gamma and WWZ couplings. A combined fit to the three data
sets which provided the tightest limits on anomalous WW gamma and WWZ
couplings is also described. Limits on anomalous ZZ gamma and Z gamma
gamma couplings are presented from an analysis of the photon E-T spec
trum in Z gamma events in the decay channels (ee, mu mu, and nu nu) of
the Z boson. [S0556-2821(97)01123-5].
