Future projections on the anomalous WWγγ couplings in hadron–hadron interactions at the FCC-hh

Abstract

We carry out a study in the approach of a dimension-8 effective field theory on the anomalous quartic $WW\gamma\gamma$ couplings that arise from the process $pp \to W\gamma\gamma$ at the Future Circular Collider-hadron hadron (FCC-hh). The process is sensitive to the $WW\gamma\gamma$ vertex and future projections on the anomalous $f_ {M,i}/\Lambda^4$ and $ f_ {T,j}/\Lambda^4$ couplings can be put by measurements of $W\gamma\gamma$ production. We illustrate the physics opportunities and reach of the FCC-hh operating for a high integrated luminosity scenario of ${\cal L}=1, 5, 10, 30$ ${\rm ab}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=100$ TeV and systematic uncertainties of $\delta_{sys}=0\%, 3\%, 5\%, 10\%$. Production cross-sections of the signal and the sensitivity constraints on the anomalous $f_ {M,i}/\Lambda^4$ and $ f_ {T,j}/\Lambda^4$ couplings at $95\%$ C.L. are identified through the leptonic and hadronic decay modes of the $W$-boson. The FCC-hh sensitivity on these anomalous couplings are expected might reach up to the order of magnitude ${\cal O}(10^{-4}-10^1)$. These sensitivity perspectives indicate that the $pp \to W\gamma\gamma$ channel at the FCC-hh has a greater potential to research for the anomalous quartic $WW\gamma\gamma$ couplings and to research for new physics than present colliders.

“…The EFT approach is a simple and elegant way to treat new interactions in BSM. The effective Lagrangian with dimension-8 operators used to investigate the AQGC is given as follows [12][13][14][15][16],…”
