Abstract: (arXiv)
We have measured the WWγWW\gamma gauge boson coupling parameters using ppˉνγ+Xp\bar{p}\to \ell\nu\gamma+X (=e,μ\ell=e,\mu) events at s=1.8\sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 89.1 pb^{-1}, were collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measured cross section times branching ratio for ppˉWγ+Xp\bar{p} \to W\gamma+X with pTγp_T^\gamma > 10 GeV/c and Rγ>0.7R_{\ell\gamma} > 0.7 is 11.81.6+1.7±2.0{11.8}^{+1.7}_{-1.6} \pm 2.0 pb, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction. The one degree of freedom 95% confidence level limits on individual CP-conserving parameters are -0.98<\Delta\kappa<1.01 and -0.33<\lambda<0.31. Similar limits are set on the CP}violating coupling parameters.
