Abstract: (arXiv)
Direct limits are set on WWZWWZ and WWγWW\gamma three-boson couplings in a search for WWWW and WZWZ production with high transverse momentum in ppp\overline{p} collisions at s=1.8\sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV, using the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The results are in agreement with the SU(2) ×\times U(1) model of electroweak interactions. Assuming Standard Model WWγWW\gamma coupling, the the limits are interpreted as direct evidence for a non-zero WWZWWZ coupling at subprocess energies near 500 GeV. Alternatively, assumiong identical WWZWWZ and WWγWW\gamma couplings, bounds -0.11 < \kappa < 2.27 and -0.81 < \lambda < 0.84 are obtained at 95%95\% CL for a form factor scale 1000 GeV.
