Anomalous Quartic Gauge Couplings from Six Quark Production

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-08-21 v1

Abstract

The absence of a light Higgs boson causes vector boson couplings to become strong at 1 TeV. A general framework for a systematic and consistent treatment is provided by effective theories of electroweak symmetry breaking. Already in next-to-leading order there appear quartic gauge couplings that go beyond the standard model and are hence called anomalous. We investigate intermediate three gauge boson states W+WZW^+W^- Z and ZZZZZZ occurring in six quark production in electron positron collisions under the conditions of the International Linear Collider. We perform a sensitivity analysis of the relevant anomalous quartic gauge couplings presenting their expected limits.
