Quartic Anomalous Couplings in $γγ$ Colliders

Abstract

We study the constraints on the vertices $W^+W^- Zγ$, $W^+W^-γγ$, and $ZZγγ$ that can be obtained from triple-gauge-boson production at the next generation of linear $e^+e^-$ colliders operating in the $γγ$ mode. We analyze the processes $γγ\to W^+W^-V$ ($V=Z$, or $γ$) and show that these reactions increase the potential of $e^+e^-$ machines to search for anomalous four-gauge-boson interactions.
