Abstract

We present a search for anomalous triple gauge couplings (ATGC) in $W W$ and $W Z$ boson production. The boson pairs are produced in $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV$ , and the data sample corresponds to $350 {pb}^{- 1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. In this search one $W$ decays to leptons, and the other boson ( $W$ or $Z$ ) decays hadronically. Combining with a previously published CDF measurement of $W γ$ boson production yields ATGC limits of $- 0.18 < λ < 0.17$ and $- 0.46 < Δ κ < 0.39$ at the 95% confidence level, using a cutoff scale $Λ = 1.5 TeV$ .

We use a coordinate system where $θ$ is the polar angle to the proton beam, $ϕ$ is the azimuthal angle about the beam axis, and $η$ is the pseudorapidity defined as $- \ln (\tan (θ / 2))$ . The transverse momentum of a particle is denoted by $p_{T} \equiv p \sin θ$ . The analogous quantity defined using energies, $E_{T} \equiv E \sin θ$ , is called transverse energy. Missing transverse energy, ${E̸}_{T}$ , is defined as the magnitude of $- \sum_{i} E_{T}^{i} {\hat{n}}_{i}$ , where ${\hat{n}}_{i}$ is a unit vector in the azimuthal plane that points from the collision vertex to the $i$ th calorimeter tower.
