Model-independent limits for anomalous triple gauge bosons $W^+W^-γ$ coupling at the CLIC

Abstract: We investigate the potential of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) to probe the anomalous $W^+W^-\gamma$ coupling in $\gamma\gamma$, $\gamma\gamma^*$ and $\gamma^\gamma^$ collisions through the processes $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow W^+ W^-$, $e^+ \gamma \rightarrow e^+ \gamma^{*} \gamma \rightarrow e^+ W^- W^+$ and $e^+ e^-\rightarrow e^+ \gamma^{*} \gamma^{*} e^- \rightarrow e^+ W^- W^+ e^-$. We perform leptonic, semi-leptonic and hadronic decays channels for $W^+W^-$ production in the final state. Taking ${\cal L}=1\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm ab^{-1}}@ \sqrt{s}=0.380\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm TeV}$, ${\cal L}=2.5\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm ab^{-1}}@ \sqrt{s}=1.5\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm TeV}$ and ${\cal L}=5\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm ab^{-1}}@ \sqrt{s}=3\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm TeV}$, based on future CLIC data, the limits for $\Delta\kappa_\gamma$ and $\lambda_\gamma$ might reach up to ${\cal O}(10^{-5}-10^{-4})$ level in the most ideal with 5\hspace{0.8mm}${\rm ab^{-1}}$ set data, which shows a potential advantage compared to those from LHC, Tevatron and LEP data. Thus, our results represent that the processes $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow W^+ W^-$, $e^+ \gamma \rightarrow e^+ \gamma^{*} \gamma \rightarrow e^+ W^- W^+$ and $e^+ e^-\rightarrow e^+ \gamma^{*} \gamma^{*} e^- \rightarrow e^+ W^- W^+ e^-$ at the CLIC are a very good prospect for probing the anomalous $W^+W^-\gamma$ couplings.
