Description

This FeynRules model is the implementation of the weak boson effective field theory described in arXiv:1205.4231 [hep-ph]. Namely, the model contains all the five dimension-six operators that modify the triple gauge boson vertices. Their coefficients can be set in the param_card.dat. The parameters in the param_card are the full coefficients, i.e.

 $c_i/\Lambda^2$ 
and are in TeV-2. The name are self-explanatory,
 $c_{WWW}/\Lambda^2$ 
is called CWWWL2 and similarly for cW and cB , the coefficients of the CP violating operators
 $O_{\tilde{W}WW}\quad\text{and}\quad O_{\tilde{W}}$ 
are CPWWWL2 and CPWL2 respectively. The new interaction has also an order NP (for new physics) which is the power of
 $1/\Lambda$ 
of the amplitude. For example, an amplitude with one vertex for a dimension-six operator is proportional to
 $1/\Lambda^2$ 
and has NP=2.

The limits have been obtained by inverting the values of the anomalous couplings from the PDG 2012.
