Abstract
| Studies the three weak boson vertex. The authors give explicit formulae for all polarization amplitudes of the processes e/sup +/e /sup -/ to W/sup +/W/sup -/ and e/sup +/e/sup -/ to ZZ, with arbitrary couplings between the various intermediate vector bosons. Using these expressions they discuss possible signatures of C, P and T-violation in the three vector boson coupling, as well as the effects of anomalous magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments of W/sup +or-/. The amplitudes for the above processes in any SU(2)*U(1) and SU (2)/sub L/*SU(2)/sub R/*U(1) gauge theory are also given, while the special case of the Weinberg-Salam model is studied in detail.
