Anomalous Higgs Couplings in Triple Gauge Boson Production at the NLC

Abstract

We present the sensitivity limits on the coefficients of a dimension-6 effective operators that parametrizes the possible effects of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Our results are based on the study of the processes $e^+ e^- \to W^+ W^- γ$, $Z Zγ$, and $Zγγ$ at NLC energies. In our calculations, we include all the anomalous interactions involving vector and Higgs bosons, and take into account the Standard Model irreducible background. We analyse the impact of these new interactions on the total cross section and on some kinematical distributions of the final state particles.
