abstract

We obtain the partial-wave unitarity constraints on the lowest-dimension effective operators which generate anomalous quartic gauge couplings but leave the triple gauge couplings unaffected. We consider operator expansions with linear and nonlinear realizations of the electroweak symmetry and explore the multidimensional parameter space of the coefficients of the relevant operators: 20 dimension-eight operators in the linear expansion and 5 ${\cal O}(p^4)$ operators in the derivative expansion. We study two-to-two scattering of electroweak gauge bosons and Higgs bosons taking into account all coupled channels and all possible helicity amplitudes for the $J=0,1$ partial waves. In general, the bounds degrade by factors of a few when several operator coefficients are considered non-vanishing simultaneously. However, this requires to consider constraints from both $J=0$ and $J=1$ partial waves for some sets of operators.
