Studying Anomalous $WWγ$ and $WWZ$ Couplings with Polarized $p\bar{p}$ Collisions

Abstract

We calculate tree-level cross-sections for $W^{+}γ$ and $W^{+}W^{-}$ production in proton-antiproton collisions, with one $W$ decaying to leptons, with anomalous electroweak triple-boson coupling parameters $Δκ$ and $λ$. We compare the unpolarized cross-sections to those for a polarized proton beam, to study how a polarized proton beam would improve experimental tests of anomalous couplings.
