  2. Outline • Triple gauge boson couplings (TGC) • charged W+W, W+WZ • neutral Z, ZZ, ZZZ • Quartic gauge boson couplings (QGC) W+W, W+WZ, ZZ, W+WZZ, W+WW+W present in SM not in SM Gauge Couplings at LEP2

  3. Gauge Boson Couplings Why do we measure gauge boson couplings ? • Test of the non-Abelian nature of the electroweak sector • Probe for new physics at higher energies How ?
