Scrutinizing the ZW+W- vertex at the Large Hadron Collider at 7 TeV

Abstract

We analyze the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider running at 7 TeV to search for deviations from the Standard Model predictions for the triple gauge boson coupling ZW+W- assuming an integrated luminosity of 1 fb^{-1}. We show that the study of W+W- and W^\pm Z productions, followed by the leptonic decay of the weak gauge bosons can improve the present sensitivity on the anomalous couplings \Delta g_1^Z, \Delta \kappa_Z, \lambda_Z, g_4^Z, and \tilde{\lambda}_Z at the 2\sigma level.
