$H^+ W^- Z$ contribution to the static quantities of the W boson in the context of Higgs-triplet theories

Abstract

We calculate the one--loop contribution from the $H^+ W^- Z$ coupling to the static electromagnetic properties of the W boson. Although this coupling is absent at the tree--level in all Higgs--doublet models, it can be induced at this order in models including Higgs--triplet representations. It is found that the $H^+ W^- Z$ contribution can be as important as those arising from other couplings including Higgs bosons, such as the standard model coupling WWH or the two--Higgs--doublet model couplings $H^+ W^- \phi^0$ and $W W \phi^0$, with $\phi^0=h$, $H$ and $A$.
