Bosonic quartic couplings at LEP2

Abstract.

We list the set of $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{P}$ conserving anomalous quartic vector bosons self-couplings which can be tested at LEP2 through triple vector boson production. We show how this set can be embedded in manifestly $SU(2) \times U(1)$ gauge invariant operators exhibiting an $SU(2)_c$ global symmetry. We derive bounds on these various couplings and show the most relevant distributions that can enhance their contribution. We also find that an $e^+ e^-$ collider running at 500 GeV can improve the LEP2 limits by as much as three-orders of magnitude.
