A Chi-PT description of the 3 boson vertex for the LHC and the SSC

Abstract

In the general framework of chiral lagrangians we compute the leading log contribution to the three boson coupling in the standard model coming from eventual new physics. We apply the results, together with a complete analysis of the background and the statistical significances, to the LHC and the SSC and set bounds on the size of the new coupling to be detected in both accelerators.
