Abstract
We analyze the prospects of probing anomalous Z gammaZ couplings at the pro posed ep mode of the Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC), by means of the pro cess e(-) + p --> e(-) + gamma + X. The 95% C.L. limit, for the form factor s that describe the Z gammaZ vertex are calculated for the ep collider of t he VLHC, both in its low- and high-field options, and for the current energ ies and luminosities of the DESY HERA ep collider. The sensitivity of the V LHC ep collider to the form factor scale Lambda is briefly discussed.
