Constraints on anomalous quartic gauge boson couplings from ννγγ and qq̄γγ events at CERN LEP2
Physical Review D(2004)
摘要
Anomalous quartic couplings between the electroweak gauge bosons may contribute to the nu(nu) over bar gammagamma and q (q) over bar gammagamma final states produced in e(+)e(-) collisions. This analysis uses the LEP2 OPAL data sample at center-of-mass energies up to 209 GeV. Event selections identify nu(nu) over bar gammagamma and q (q) over bar gammagamma events in which the two photons are reconstructed within the detector acceptance. The cross section for the process e(+)e(-)-->q (q) over bar gammagamma is measured. Averaging over all energies, the ratio of the observed e(+)e(-)-->q (q) over bar gammagamma cross section to the standard model expectation is R(data/SM)=0.92+/-0.07+/-0.04, where the errors represent the statistical and systematic uncertainties respectively. The nu(nu) over bar gammagamma and q (q) over bar gammagamma data are used to constrain possible anomalous W(+)W(-)gammagamma and ZZgammagamma couplings. Combining with previous OPAL results from the W(+)W(-)gamma final state, the 95% confidence level limits on the anomalous coupling parameters a(0)(Z), a(c)(Z), a(0)(W) and a(c)(W) are found to be -0.007 GeV-2更多
