Abstract

We present measurements of triple gauge boson coupling parameters using data recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP2 at a centre-of-mass energy of 172 GeV. A total of 120 W-pair candidates has been selected in the qq̄qq̄, qq̄ℓv̄_ℓ and ℓv̄_ℓℓ̄′v_ℓ′ decay channels, for an integrated luminosity of 10.4 pb^-1. We use these data to determine several different anomalous coupling parameters using the measured cross-section and the distributions of kinematic variables. We measure α_Βφ=0.35 ^+1.29_-1.07 ± 0.38, α_Wφ=0.00^+0.30_-0.28 ± 0.11, α_W = 0.18^+0.49_-0.47 ± 0.23, Δg^z₁=-0.03^+0.40_-0.37 ± 0.14, Δκ^(H1SZ)_γ = 0.03^+0.55_-0.51 ± 0.20, and Δκ=0.03^+0.49_-0.46 ± 0.21. Combining the α_Wφ result with our previous result obtained from the 161 GeV data sample we measure α_Wφ=-0.08^+0.28_-0.25 ± 0.10. All of these measurements are consistent with the Standard Model.

N2 - We present measurements of triple gauge boson coupling parameters using data recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP2 at a centre-of-mass energy of 172 GeV. A total of 120 W-pair candidates has been selected in the qq̄qq̄, qq̄ℓv̄ℓ and ℓv̄ℓℓ̄′vℓ′ decay channels, for an integrated luminosity of 10.4 pb-1. We use these data to determine several different anomalous coupling parameters using the measured cross-section and the distributions of kinematic variables. We measure αΒφ=0.35 +1.29-1.07 ± 0.38, αWφ=0.00+0.30-0.28 ± 0.11, αW = 0.18+0.49-0.47 ± 0.23, Δgz1=-0.03+0.40-0.37 ± 0.14, Δκ(H1SZ)γ = 0.03+0.55-0.51 ± 0.20, and Δκ=0.03+0.49-0.46 ± 0.21. Combining the αWφ result with our previous result obtained from the 161 GeV data sample we measure αWφ=-0.08+0.28-0.25 ± 0.10. All of these measurements are consistent with the Standard Model.
