abstract
Limits on anomalous WW and WWZ couplings are presented from a study of WW/WZe vjj events produced in pp collisions at s=1.8 TeV. Results from the analysis of data collected using the D detector during the 1993-1995 Tevatron collider run at Fermilab are combined with those of an earlier study from the 1992-1993 run. A fit to the transverse momentum spectrum of the W boson yields direct limits on anomalous WW and WWZ couplings. With the assumption that the WW and WWZ couplings are equal, we obtain -0.34<<0.36 (with =0) and -0.43<<0.59 (with =0) at the 95% confidence level for a form-factor scale =2.0 TeV. 2000 The American Physical Society.
