Abstract
In this paper, we examine the potentials of the processes γγ → W + W − Z and e + e − → e + γ * γ * e − → e + W + W − Ze − at the CLIC with \( \sqrt{s} \) = 0.5, 1.5 and 3 TeV to investigate anomalous quartic WWZγ couplings by two different CP-violating and CP-conserving effective Lagrangians. We find 95% confidence level sensitivities on the anomalous coupling parameters at the three CLIC energies and various integrated luminosities. The best sensitivities obtained from the process γγ → W + W − Z on the anomalous \( \frac{k_0^W}{\varLambda^2},\frac{k_c^W}{\varLambda^2} \) and \( \frac{k_2^m}{\varLambda^2} \) couplings defined by CP-conserving effective Lagrangians are [−1.73; 1.73]×10−7 GeV−2, [−2.44; 2.44]×10−7 and [−1.89; 1.89]×10−7 GeV−2, while \( \frac{a_n}{\varLambda^2} \) coupling determined by CP-violating effective Lagrangians is obtained as [−1.74; 1.74]×10−7 GeV−2. In addition, the best sensitivities derived on \( \frac{k_0^W}{\varLambda^2},\frac{k_c^W}{\varLambda^2} \) and \( \frac{k_2^m}{\varLambda^2} \) and \( \frac{a_n}{\varLambda^2} \) from the process e + e − → e + γ * γ * e − → e + W + W − Ze − are obtained as [−1.09; 1.09]×10−6 GeV−2, [−1.54; 1.54]×10−6 GeV−2, [−1.18; 1.18]×10−6 and [−1.04; 1.04]×10−6 GeV−2, respectively.
