Measuring WWZ and WWgamma coupling constants with Z-pole data
Abstract
Triple gauge boson couplings between Z, gamma and the W boson are determined by exploiting their impact on radiative corrections to fermion-pair production in e+e- interactions at centre-of-mass energies near the Z-pole. Recent values of observables in the electroweak part of the Standard model are used to determine the four parameters epsilon1, epsilon2, epsilon3 and epsilonb. In a second step the results on the four epsilon parameters are used to determine the couplings Delta-g1Z and Delta-kappagamma. For a wide range of scales, these indirect coupling measurements are more precise than recent direct measurements at LEP 2 and at the TEVATRON. The Standard model predictions agree well with these measurements.
