Search for anomalous quartic WWZγ couplings at the future linear e+e− collider

Abstract

In this paper, the potentials of two different processes [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) are examined to probe the anomalous quartic [Formula: see text] gauge couplings. For [Formula: see text], 1.5 and 3[Formula: see text]TeV energies at the CLIC, 95% confidence level limits on the anomalous coupling parameters defining the dimension-six operators are found via the effective Lagrangian approach in a model independent way. The best limits on the anomalous couplings [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] which can be achieved with the integrated luminosity of [Formula: see text] at the CLIC with [Formula: see text] are [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively.
