Abstract

We perform a detailed study of the process e+eγνlνˉle^+e^-\to\gamma\nu_l\bar\nu_l and its sensitivity to anomalous gauge boson couplings of the γWW\gamma WW vertex. We concentrate on LEP II energies, s=200\sqrt{s}=200 GeV, and energies appropria- te to the proposed Next Linear Collider (NLC) high energy e+ee^+e^- collider with c.m. energies of 500 GeV and 1 TeV. At 200 GeV, the process offers, at best, a consistency check of other processes being considered at LEP-200. At 500 GeV, the parameters κγ\kappa_\gamma and λγ\lambda_\gamma can be measured to about ±0.05\pm 0.05 and ±0.1\pm 0.1 respectively at 95\% C.L. while at 1 TeV, they can be measured to about ±0.02\pm 0.02. At the high luminosities anticipa- ted at high energy linear colliders precision measurements are likely to be limited by systematic rather than statistical errors.
