Abstract

We study the production of three gauge bosons at the next generation of linear e+ee^+e^- colliders operating in the γγ\gamma\gamma mode. The processes γγW+WV\gamma\gamma \rightarrow W^+W^-V (V=Z0V=Z^0, or γ\gamma) can provide direct information about the quartic gauge-boson couplings. We analyze the total cross section as well as several dynamical distributions of the final state particles including the effect of kinematical cuts. We find out that a linear e+ee^+e^- machine operating in the γγ\gamma\gamma mode will produce 5--10 times more three-gauge-boson states compared to the standard e+ee^+e^- mode at high energies.
