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

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.
Cheers,
Doreen
