The constraints on the anomalous quartic $WW\gamma\gamma$ and $ZZ\gamma\gamma$ gauge boson couplings are investigated through the processes $e\gamma\to W^{-}\gamma\nu_{e}$ and $e\gamma\to Z\gamma e$. Considering the longitudinal and…
We compute the four-Fermi neutralino-quark interaction Lagrangian including contributions from the CP violating phases in the MSSM. We find that neutralino-nucleus scattering cross-sections relevant for direct detection experiments show a…
We present a general classification of all four fermion final states in $\gamma\gamma$~collisions and a calculation of cross sections below the $W^+W^-$-threshold.
We study the sensitivity of LEP II and NLC, via two photon collisions, to the effects of anomalous $\tau \overline{\tau} \gamma$ couplings. We also discuss some CP-odd observables that can be useful to disentangle the contributions from the…
At LEP2 many Standard Model predictions are tested up to centre-of-mass energies of 209 GeV. Fermion pair production cross sections and asymmetries agree well with the theoretical expectation over the entire energy range. The measurements…
The prospects of experimental detection of $CP$ violation at $e^+e^-$ and $pp/p\overline{p}$ colliders are reviewed. After a general discussion on the quantities which can measure $CP$ violation and on the implications of the $CPT$ theorem,…
We consider the electroweak production of a top quark in association with a photon at the LHC to probe the electroweak top quark couplings (t$\bar{\text{t}}\gamma$) as well as the triple gauge boson couplings (WW$\gamma$). The study is…
Recent ATLAS and CMS measurements show a slight excess in the WW cross section measurement. While still consistent with the Standard Model within 1-2 sigma, the excess could be also a first hint of physics beyond the Standard Model. We…
We show how one can measure anomalous WWZ- and WWgamma-couplings with minimal statistical error using integrated observables, without having to assume that the anomalous couplings are small. We propose a parametrisation of these couplings…
We extend our previous analysis of the sensitivity of the energy dependence of the polarization asymmetry in $\gamma e \to W\nu$ to the possible existence of anomalous trilinear gauge couplings to the $\gamma e \to Ze$ case. We find that by…
We have directly measured the ZZ-gamma and Z-gamma-gamma couplings by studying p pbar --> l+ l- gamma + X, (l = e, mu) events at the CM energy of 1.8$ TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A fit to the transverse…
We find that the $CP$-violating asymmetry $$ \frac{\Gamma \left(t \rightarrow bW^+ \right) - \Gamma \left(\bar{t} \rightarrow \bar{b}W^- \right)} {\Gamma \left(t \rightarrow bW^+ \right) + \Gamma \left(\bar{t} \rightarrow \bar{b}W^-…
CP-violating asymmetries in the processes e+e- -> t tbar and gamma gamma -> ttbar can provide information about CP-violating couplings of the top quark, whose presence would signal physics beyond the standard model. Work on studies of…
We discuss the impact of anomalous WW$\gamma$ and WWZ couplings on WZ+jet production at next-to-leading order QCD, including full leptonic decays of the electroweak gauge bosons. While the inclusive hadronic cross sections do not exhibit…
We investigate CP violation in the process H^\pm \to W^\pm Z within the framework of the two-Higgs-Doublet model (2HDM). Amplitudes are expressed transparently in terms of physical couplings. Our analysis qualitatively confirms recent…
A minimal extension of the standard model includes extra quarks with charges 2/3 and/or -1/3, whose left-handed and right-handed components are both SU(2) singlets. This model predicts new interactions of flavor-changing neutral current at…
Anomalous CP-odd W+W-Z couplings can give rise to a forward-backward asymmetry in the Z angular distribution in the e+e- centre-of-mass frame in the process e+e- -> nu nubar Z. Of the three CP-odd couplings possible, only the imaginary part…
A study of W+W- events accompanied by hard photon radiation produced in e+e- collisions at LEP is presented. Events consistent with two on-shell W-bosons and an isolated photon are selected from 183pb^-1 of data recorded at root{s}=189GeV.…
Using the SU(2) gauge coupling, $g_{W^\pm} (M^2_{W^\pm})$, at the high-energy scale of $M_{W^\pm}$, defined by the (theoretical value of the) leptonic W-width, rather than using the low-energy value, defined via the Fermi coupling, $G_\mu$,…
We report two complementary measurements of the WW+WZ cross section in the final state consisting of an electron or muon, missing transverse energy, and jets, performed using p\bar{p} collision data at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV collected by the…
