Abstract:
We derive bounds on Higgs and gauge--boson anomalous interactions using the LEP2 data on the production of three photons and photon pairs in association with hadrons. In the framework of effective Lagrangians, we examine all dimension--six operators that lead to anomalous Higgs interactions involving and . The search for Higgs boson decaying to pairs allow us to obtain constrains on these anomalous couplings that are comparable with the ones originating from the analyses of collisions at the Tevatron. Our results also show that if the coefficients of all ``blind'' operators are assumed to have same magnitude, the indirect constraints on the anomalous couplings obtained from this analyses, for Higgs masses 140 GeV, are more restrictive than the ones coming from the production.Note:
