Constraints from Triple Gauge Couplings on Vectorlike Leptons
Abstract
We study the contributions of colorless vectorlike fermions to the triple gauge couplings and . We consider models in which their coupling to the Standard Model Higgs boson is allowed or forbidden by quantum numbers. We assess the sensitivity of the future accelerators FCC-ee, ILC and CLIC to the parameters of these models, assuming they will be able to constrain the anomalous triple gauge couplings with a precision , . We show that the combination of measurements at different center-of-mass energies helps to improve the sensitivity to the contribution of vectorlike fermions, in particular when they couple to the Higgs. In fact, the measurements at the FCC-ee and, especially, the ILC and the CLIC, may turn the triple gauge couplings into a new set of precision parameters able to constrain the models better than the oblique parameters or the decay, even assuming the considerable improvement of the latter measurements achievable at the new machines.
