CP Violation in $W\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ Production

Abstract

We study the capability of a $2TeV$ $p\overline{p}$ collider with an integrated luminosity of $10f{b}^{-1}$ to study CP violation in the processes $p\bar{p}\text{ra}{W}^{\pm }\gamma$ and $p\bar{p}\text{ra}Z\gamma$. We assume the existence of new CP violating interactions beyond the standard model which we describe with an effective Lagrangian. We find that the study of CP-odd observables would allow this machine to place bounds on CP violating anomalous couplings similar to the bounds that the same machine can place on $\text{cp}$ conserving anomalous couplings. For example it could place the bound $|{\tilde{\kappa }}_{\gamma }|<0.1$ at the 95% confidence level.
