Probing Anomalous Triple Boson Vertices at Future $e^+e^-$ Colliders

We explore the detection potential of the four lepton production processes $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow l^{+} νl^{\prime -}\overlineν$ for anomalous contributions to the triple boson vertices at proposed future high energy colliders with center-of-mass energies of 500 GeV and 1 TeV. The predicted bounds are of the order of a few percent for the $CP$-even couplings $κ_{V}$ (V=$γ$,Z) at the higher energy; we show that these limits can be improved by as much as a factor of two through suitable phase space cuts. A polarized beam facility, with its ability to access helicity information, could provide constraints on the vertices significantly tighter than those achievable from an analysis of total cross-section alone. The asymmetries in experimental observables produced by an explicitly $CP$ violating triple vertex contribution are seen to be below the expected level of statistical precision of approximately $1.5 \%$; asymmetries in the individual contributing helicity amplitudes might however be detectable.

Extracting W Boson Couplings from the $e^{+}e^{-}$ Production of Four Leptons

We consider the processes $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow \ell^{+} \ell^{\prime -}ν\barν^{\prime}$, including all possible charged lepton combinations, with regard to measuring parameters characterizing the $W$ boson. We calculate at what level these processes can be used to measure anamolous triple-boson vertice coupling parameters for the cases of $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders at 500 $GeV$ and 1 $TeV$ center of mass energies.
