Abstract

We study the anomalous trilinear gauge couplings of ZZ and γ\gamma using a complete set of polarization asymmetries for the ZZ boson in e+eZZ/Zγe^+e^-\to ZZ/Z\gamma processes with unpolarized initial beams. We use these polarization asymmetries, along with the cross section, to obtain a simultaneous limit on all the anomalous couplings using the Markov-Chain--Monte-Carlo (MCMC) method. For an e+ee^+e^- collider running at 500500 GeV center-of-mass energy and 100100 fb1^{-1} of integrated luminosity the simultaneous limits on the anomalous couplings are 13×1031\sim3\times 10^{-3}.
