Studying Anomalous $WW\gamma$ and $WWZ$ Couplings with Polarized $p\bar{p}$ Collisions

Abstract

We calculate tree-level cross-sections for $W^{+}\gamma$ and $W^{+}{W}^{-}$ production in proton-antiproton collisions, with one $W$ decaying to leptons, with anomalous electroweak triple-boson coupling parameters $\Delta \kappa$ and $\lambda$. We compare the unpolarized cross-sections to those for a polarized proton beam, to study how a polarized proton beam would improve experimental tests of anomalous couplings.
