Anomalous WWγ coupling in photon-induced processes using forward detectors at the CERN LHC

Abstract

We present a new method to test the standard model expectations at the LHC using photon-induced WW production. Both W decay in the main ATLAS or CMS detectors while scattered protons are measured in forward detectors. The sensitivity to anomalous WWγ triple gauge coupling can be improved by more than a factor of 5 or 30 compared to the present LEP or Tevatron sensitivity, respectively.
