In this work, Higgs couplings with gauge bosons is probed through $e^-e^+ rightarrow W^-W^+H$ in an effective Lagrangian framework. An ILC of 500 $GeV$ center of mass energy with possible beam polarization is considered for this purpose. The reach of ILC with integrated luminosity of 300 $fb^{-1}$ in the determination of both the CP-conserving and CP-violating parameters are obtained. Sensitivity of the probe of each of these couplings on the presence of other couplings is investigated. The most influential couplings parameters are $bar c_W=-bar c_B$. Other parameters of significant effect are $bar c_{HW}$ and $bar c_{HB}$ among the CP-conserving ones, and $tilde c_{HW}$ and $tilde c_{HB}$ among the CP-violating ones. CP-violating parameter, $tilde c_gamma$ seems to have very little influence on the process considered. Detailed study of the angular distributions have presented a way to disentangle the effect of some of these couplings.
The anomalous $WWgamma$ coupling is probed through $egammarightarrow u W$ at the ILC. With a spectacular single lepton final state, this process is well suited to study the above coupling. Cross section measurements can probe $delta kappa_gamma$ to about $pm 0.004$ for a luminosity of 100 fb$^{-1}$ at $500$ GeV center-of-mass energy with unpolarized electron beam. The limits derivable on $lambda_gamma$ from the total cross section are comparatively more relaxed. Exploiting the energy-angle double distribution of the secondary muons, kinematic regions sensitive to these couplings are identified. The derivable limit on $lambda_gamma < 0$ could be improved to a few per-mil, focusing on such regions. More importantly, the angular distributions at fixed energy values, and energy distribution at fixed angles present very interesting possibility of distinguishing the case of $lambda_gamma <0$ and $lambda_gamma ge 0$.
New heavy neutral gauge bosons Z are predicted by many models of physics beyond the Standard Model. It is quite possible that Zs are heavy enough to lie beyond the discovery reach of the CERN Large Hadron Collider LHC, in which case only indirect signatures of Z exchanges may emerge at future colliders, through deviations of the measured cross sections from the Standard Model predictions. We discuss in this context the foreseeable sensitivity to Zs of W^pm-pair production cross sections at the e^+e^- International Linear Collider (ILC), especially as regards the potential of distinguishing observable effects of the Z from analogous ones due to competitor models with anomalous trilinear gauge couplings (AGC) that can lead to the same or similar new physics experimental signatures at the ILC. The sensitivity of the ILC for probing the Z-Z mixing and its capability to distinguish these two new physics scenarios is substantially enhanced when the polarization of the initial beams and the produced W^pm bosons are considered. A model independent analysis of the Z effects in the process e^+e^- to W^+W^- allows to differentiate the full class of vector Z models from those with anomalous trilinear gauge couplings, with one notable exception: the sequential SM (SSM)-like models can in this process not be distinguished from anomalous gauge couplings. Results of model dependent analysis of a specific Z are expressed in terms of discovery and identification reaches on the Z-Z mixing angle and the Z mass.
Triple gauge boson associated production at the LHC serves as an interesting channel to test the robustness of the Standard Model. Any deviation from its SM prediction may indicate possible existence of relevant new physics, e.g., anomalous quartic gauge boson couplings. In this paper, a Monte-Carlo feasibility study of measuring WWA production with pure leptonic decays and probing anomalous quartic gauge-boson (e.g., WWAA) couplings, is presented in detail for the first time, with parton shower and detector simulation effects taken into account. Our results show that at the sqrt{s} = 14 TeV LHC with an integrated luminosity of 100 (30) fb-1, one can reach a significance of 9 (5) sigma to observe the SM WWA production, and can constrain at the 95% CL the anomalous WWAA coupling parameters, e.g., a_{0,c}^W/Lambda^2 (see Ref.[15] for their definitions), at 10^{-5} GeV^{-2}, respectively.
All lowest-order amplitudes for e+e- --> 4f+gamma are calculated including five anomalous quartic gauge-boson couplings that are allowed by electromagnetic gauge invariance and the custodial SU(2)_c symmetry. Three of these anomalous couplings correspond to the operators L_0, L_c, and L_n that have been constrained by the LEP collaborations in WWgamma production. The anomalous couplings are incorporated in the Monte Carlo generator RACOONWW. Moreover, for the processes e+e- --> 4f+gamma RACOONWW is improved upon including leading universal electroweak corrections such as initial-state radiation. The discussion of numerical results illustrates the size of the leading corrections as well as the impact of the anomalous quartic couplings for LEP2 energies and at 500GeV.
The littlest Higgs model is the most economical one among various little Higgs models. In the context of the littlest Higgs(LH) model, we study the process $e^{-}gammato u_{e}W^{-}H$ and calculate the contributions of the LH model to the cross section of this process. The results show that, in most of parameter spaces preferred by the electroweak precision data, the value of the relative correction is larger than 10%. Such correction to the process $e^{-}gammato u_{e}W^{-}H$ is large enough to be detected via $e^{-}gamma$ collisions in the future high energy linear $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider($LC$) experiment with the c.m energy $sqrt{s}$=500 GeV and a yearly integrated luminosity $pounds=100fb^{-1}$, which will give an ideal way to test the model.
