Standard Model Higher Order Corrections to the WW\gamma/WWZ Vertex

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

Using the S--matrix pinch technique we obtain to one loop order gauge independent γWW+\gamma W^-W^+ and ZWW+Z W^-W^+ vertices in the context of the standard model, with all incoming momenta off--shell. We show that the vertices so constructed satisfy simple QED--like Ward identities. These gauge invariant vertices give rise to expressions for the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole form factors of the WW gauge boson, which, unlike previous treatments, satisfy the crucial properties of infrared finiteness and perturbative unitarity.
