We address the effect of an anomalous triple gauge boson couplings on a physical observable for the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, when the S U 2 L ⊗ U 1 Y symmetry is spontaneously broken by the Higgs mechanism to U 1 e m . Our calculation is done within the framework of the gauge-invariant, but path-dependent variable formalism is an alternative to the Wilson loop approach. Our result shows that the interaction energy is the sum of a Yukawa and a linear potential, leading to the confinement of static probe charges. The point we wish to emphasize, however, is that the anomalous triple gauge boson couplings ( Z γ γ ) contributes to the confinement for distances on the intranuclear scale.

We study the connection or equivalence between two well-known extensions of the Standard Model, that is, for the coupling between the familiar massless electromagnetism U (1) QED and a hidden-sector U (1)h, and axionic electrodynamics. Our discussion is carried out using the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism, which is an alternative to the Wilson loop approach. When we compute in this way the static quantum potential for the coupling between the familiar massless electromagnetism U (1) QED and a hidden-sector U (1)h, the result of this calculation is a Yukawa correction to the usual static Coulomb potential. Previously,14, we have shown that axionic electrodynamics has a different structure which is reflected in a confining piece. Therefore, both extensions of the Standard Model are not equivalent. Interestingly, when the above calculation is done inside a superconducting box, the Coulombic piece disappears leading to a screening phase.

The axial anomaly is derived both from the non-invariance of the path-integral measure under UA(1) transformations and calculations of specific triangle diagrams. It is demonstrated that the anomalous terms are cancelled in the electroweak sector of the standard model, if the electric charge of all fermions adds up to zero. The CP-odd term F̃μν‎Fμν‎ introduced by the axial anomaly is a gauge-invariant renormalisable interaction which is also generated by instanton transitions between Yang–Mills vacua with different winding numbers. The Peceei–Quinn symmetry is discussed as a possible explanation why this term does not contribute to the QCD action.

We update the indirect bounds on anomalous triple gauge couplings coming from the non-universal one-loop contributions to the [Formula: see text] width. These bounds, which are independent of the Higgs boson mass, are in agreement with the standard model predictions for the gauge boson self-couplings since the present value of Rb agrees fairly well with the theoretical estimates. Moreover, these indirect constraints on [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are most stringent than the present direct bounds on these quantities, while the indirect limit on λZ is weaker than the available experimental data.

Within the framework of the gauge-invariant, but path-dependent, variables formalism, we study the manifestations of vacuum electromagnetic nonlinearities in D=3 models. For this we consider both generalized Born-Infeld and Pagels-Tomboulis-like electrodynamics, as well as Euler-Heisenberg-like electrodynamics. We explicitly show that generalized Born-Infeld and Pagels-Tomboulis-like electrodynamics are equivalent, where the static potential profile contains a long-range (1/r2-type) correction to the Coulomb potential. Interestingly enough, for Euler-Heisenberg-like electrodynamics the interaction energy contains a linear potential, leading to the confinement of static charges.

Measurements of supersymmetric particle couplings provide important verification of supersymmetry. If some of the superpartners are at the multi-TeV scale, they will escape direct detection at planned future colliders. However, such particles induce nondecoupling corrections in processes involving the accessible superparticles through violations of the supersymmetric equivalence between gauge boson and gaugino couplings. These violations are analogous to the oblique corrections in the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, and can be parametrized in terms of super-oblique parameters. The e-e- collision mode of a future linear collider is shown to be an excellent environment for such high precision measurements of these SUSY parameters, which will provide an important probe of superparticles beyond reachable energies.

Abstract The positivity bounds, derived from the axiomatic principles of quantum field theory (QFT), constrain the signs of Wilson coefficients and their linear combinations in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). The precise determination of these bounds, however, can become increasingly difficult as more and more SM modes and oper- ators are taken into account. We study two approaches that aim at obtaining the full set of bounds for a given set of SM fields: 1) the traditional elastic positivity approach, which exploits the elastic scattering amplitudes of states with arbitrarily superposed helicities as well as other quantum numbers, and 2) the newly proposed extremal positivity approach, which constructs the allowed coefficient space directly by using the extremal representation of convex cones. Considering the electroweak gauge-bosons as an example, we demonstrate how the best analytical and numerical positivity bounds can be obtained in several ways. We further compare the constraining power and the efficiency of various approaches, as well as their applicability to more complex problems. While the new extremal approach is more constraining by construction, we also find that it is analytically easier to use, nu- merically much faster than the elastic approach, and much more applicable when more SM particle states and operators are taken into account. As a byproduct, we provide the best positivity bounds on the transversal quartic-gauge-boson couplings, required by the axiomatic principles of QFT, and show that they exclude ≈ 99.3% of the parameter space currently being searched at the LHC.

This review covers results at a centre-of-mass energy of [Formula: see text] TeV from the ATLAS experiment that have been published, or submitted for publication, up to April 2020. It summarizes results on the inclusive production cross-section measurements of boson pairs and of the electroweak production of diboson in association with two jets. The measurements either use the full integrated luminosity of 139 fb[Formula: see text] collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC from 2015 to 2018, or a partial dataset of 36 fb[Formula: see text]. The inclusive production rates of diboson are studied to high precision. These measurements provide stringent tests of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model and allow search for new physics via anomalous triple and quartic gauge boson couplings.

We study the CP even trilinear neutral gauge boson vertices at one-loop in the context of the Standard Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, assuming two of the vector bosons are on-shell. We also study the changes in the form-factors when these two bosons are off-shell.
