Model independent analysis of the trilinear gauge boson couplings at LC: role of polarized cross sections
Abstract
Description
By means of a model-independent analysis, we discuss the constraints on anomalous trilinear gauge-boson couplings that can be obtained from the study of electron-positron annihilation into $W$ pairs at LC with \sqrt{s}=0.5 TeV and 1 TeV. We consider the general CP conserving anomalous effective Lagrangian, as well as some specific models with reduced number of independent couplings. The analysis is based on combinations of observables with initial and final state polarizations, that allow to separately constrain the different couplings and to improve the corresponding numerical bounds.
