Abstract

We study the sensitivity to anomalous quartic ZZγγZZ\gamma\gamma couplings through the processes e+eZZγe^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow Z\, Z\, \gamma, e+ee+γee+ZZee^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+}\gamma^{*} e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+} Z\, Z\, e^{-} and e+ee+γγee+ZZee^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+}\gamma^{*} \gamma^{*} e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+}\, Z\, Z\, e^{-} at the CLIC. We find 95%95\% confidence level bounds on these coupling parameters defining by the dimension-six operators. The best bounds on the anomalous ZZγγZZ\gamma\gamma couplings among the three processes are obtained from e+eZZγe^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow Z\, Z\, \gamma at a center of mass energy of 33 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 590590 fb1^{-1}. We show that the best bounds obtained on both the anomalous coupling parameters are of the order of 10810^{-8} GeV2^{-2}, significantly improving the current bounds.
