Abstract

We study the sensitivity of a 500 GeV e+ee^+e^- Linear Collider to CPCP violating anomalous couplings. We find that with 50~fb1^{-1}, and taking only one non-zero coupling at a time, the process e+eW+We^+e^-\to W^+ W^- can be used to place the 95% confidence level bounds κ~γ0.1|\tilde\kappa_\gamma|\leq0.1, κ~Z0.1|\tilde\kappa_Z|\leq 0.1 and g4Z0.1|g_4^Z|\leq 0.1 from CP even observables. By studying certain distributions in the process e+eμ+μννˉe^+e^-\to \mu^+\mu^-\nu\bar{\nu} one of the bounds can be improved to g4Z0.06|g_4^Z| \leq 0.06. This process also allows the construction of a CP odd observable which can be used to place bounds on CP violating new physics. At the 95% confidence level we find κ~γ0.3|\tilde\kappa_\gamma|\leq 0.3, κ~Z0.2|\tilde\kappa_Z|\leq 0.2 and a much weaker bound for g4Z|g_4^Z|.
