Abstract
Limits on $WW\gamma$ and $WWZ$ anomalous triple gauge couplings are set using $WW$ production at the Fermilab Tevatron in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV using the CDF II detector. Fitting the leading lepton $p_T$ distribution from $WW\rightarrow l\nu l\nu$ lets us place 95\% confidence level limits. Since $WW$ production can involve a $Z$ or $\gamma$ propagator in the s-channel of production, the HISZ parametrization is used to make 3 independent parameters ($\lambda^{Z}, \Delta g_{1}^{Z}, \Delta \kappa^{\gamma}$). A fit is done to each parameter independently while the other 2 are set to the Standard Model value.
