Dear All, just a quick email concerning the discussion of question HE2: "HE2": ? How much do we gain from searches for e.g. triple-gauge-couplings in > light of precision electroweak data? Is there any kind of theory where we > expect to naturally have SM-like precision measurements, but large deviations > in the TGCs? If I understand this question correctly, one approach to study indirect effects of non-standard gauge couplings in Z boson observables and their direct effects in VV and VVV production is based on the EFT approach and has been pursued, e.g., here: http://inspirehep.net/record/647437?ln=en http://prd.aps.org/abstract/PRD/v48/i5/p2182_1 The EWK WG is already using the EFT approach to study direct effects of non-SM couplings in multiple-gauge boson production. If we can convince ourselves that this approach can be savely extended to the loop calculations of Z observables, we could try to initiate an update of these older studies to answer part of this question. I look forward to discussing this interesting topic in more detail tomorrow.
