The approximate representation of operators by finite matrices is analysed in terms of accuracy and convergence. The identity operator, for example, can be reconstructed using a basis of harmonic oscillator states leading to a narrow peak…
Future electron-position colliders, such as CEPC and FCC-ee, have the capability to dramatically improve the experimental precision for W and Z-boson masses and couplings. This would enable indirect probes of physics beyond the Standard…
The study of gauge bosons is interesting in two respects. The properties of gauge bosons are modified by higher order effects that are sensitive to mass scales not directly accessible to experiment. On the other hand interactions amongst…
We discuss extensions of the Standard Model through extending the electroweak gauge symmetry. An extended electroweak symmetry requires a list of extra fermionic and scalar states. The former is necessary to maintain cancellation of gauge…

Four independent dimension-eight operators give rise to anomalous neutral triple gauge boson interactions, one CP-even and three CP-odd. Only the CP-even operator interferes with the Standard Model for the production of a pair of on-shell…
We constrain $C\!P$-violating charged and neutral anomalous triple gauge couplings using LHC measurements and projections of diboson and VBF $Vjj$ production, both with subsequent leptonic decays. For triple gauge couplings involving $W$…

The gauge field term in the Standard Model Lagrangian is slightly rewritten, suggesting that the three gauge couplings have absorbed factors which depend on the dimensions of the corresponding gauge groups. The ratios of the physical…
We examine the electroweak gauge sector of noncommutative standard model and in particular, obtain the $\mathcal{O} \,(\theta)$ Feynman rules for all quadrilinear gauge boson couplings. Surprisingly, an electroweak-chromodynamics mixing…
Meson-antimeson mixing provides the most stringent constraints on baryon- and lepton-number conserving New Physics, probing scales higher than $10^5$ TeV. In the context of the effective theory of weak interactions, these constraints…
We explore the possibility of deriving model independent limits on the anomalous trilinear electroweak gauge boson couplings from high energy $e^+e^-\to W^+W^-$, by combining the cross sections for the different initial and final states…

Using an effective Lagrangian approach, we perform a model-independent analysis of the interactions among electroweak gauge bosons and the third generation quarks, i.e. the Wtb, Ztt and Zbb couplings. After one imposes the known…
The sensitivity of optimal integrated observables to electroweak triple gauge couplings is investigated for the process e-e+ -> W-W+ -> 4 fermions at future linear colliders. By a suitable reparameterisation of the couplings we achieve that…
Non-decoupling effects of heavy particles present in beyond-the-standard models are studied for the triple gauge boson vertices $\gamma W^+W^-$ and $Z^0W^+W^-$. We show from a general argument that the non-decoupling effects are described…
Low energy effects of generic extensions of the Standard Model can be comprehensively parametrized in terms of higher dimensional effective operators. After the success of all the recent precission tests on the Standard Model, we argue that…
Precision measurements of anomalous quartic couplings of electroweak gauge bosons allow us to search for deviations of the Standard Model predictions and signals of new physics. Here, we obtain the constraints on anomalous quartic gauge…
