1  ACHARD 2004D study $WW-$pair production, single$-{{\mathit W}}$ production and single$-$photon production with missing energy from 189 to 209 GeV. The result quoted here is obtained using the $WW-$pair production sample. Each parameter is determined from a single$-$parameter fit in which the other parameters assume their Standard Model values.
2  SIRUNYAN 2020BA study electroweak production of a ${{\mathit W}}$ boson in association with two jets, using ${{\mathit W}}$ decays in the electron or muon channel. The isolated muons (electrons) are required to have a transverse momentum larger than 25 (30) GeV, while the transverse momentum of the two jets has to be larger than 50 and 30 GeV. A total of 2.382 (1.051) million events are selected in the muon (electron) channel, with a Standard Model expectation of $2.39$ $\pm0.17$ ($1.054$ $\pm0.058$) million events. Analysing the transverse momentum distribution of the charged leptons from ${{\mathit W}}$ decay, the following 95$\%$ C.L. limit is obtained: 0.956 $<$ ${{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}$ $<$ 1.044. Combining this result with that from the closely-related electroweak ${{\mathit Z}}$-jet-jet production SIRUNYAN 2018BZ, the limit becomes: 0.957 $<$ ${{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}$ $<$ 1.042.
3  SIRUNYAN 2019CL study ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ and ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ production in lepton + jet events, with one ${{\mathit W}}$ boson decaying leptonically (electron or muon), and another ${{\mathit W}}$ or ${{\mathit Z}}$ boson decaying hadronically, reconstructed as a single massive large-radius jet. In the electron channel 2,456 (2,235) events are selected in the ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}({{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$) category, while in the muon channel 3,996 (3572) events are selected in the ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}({{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$) category. Analysing the di-boson invariant mass distribution, the following 95$\%$ C.L. limit is obtained: 0.9921 $<$ ${{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}$ $<$ 1.0082.
4  AABOUD 2017S analyze electroweak production of a ${{\mathit W}}$ boson in association with two jets at high dijet invariant mass, with the ${{\mathit W}}$ boson decaying to electron or muon plus neutrino. In the signal region of dijet mass larger than 1 TeV and leading-jet transverse momentum larger than 600 GeV, 30 events are observed in the data with $39$ $\pm4$ events expected in the Standard Model, yielding the following limit at 95$\%$ CL for the form factor cut-off scale ${{\mathit \Lambda}_{{{FF}}}}\rightarrow\infty{}$: $0.85<{{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}<1.16$.
5  KHACHATRYAN 2017O analyse ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ production where each boson decays into electrons or muons. Events are required to have a tri-lepton invariant mass larger than 100 GeV, with one of the lepton pairs having an invariant mass within 20 GeV of the ${{\mathit Z}}$ boson mass. The ${{\mathit Z}}$ transverse momentum spectrum is analyzed to set a 95$\%$ C.L. limit of: $0.79$ $<$ ${{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}$ $<$ $1.25$.
6  AAD 2016AR study ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ production in pp collisions and select 6636 WW candidates in decay modes with electrons or muons with an expected background of $1546$ $\pm157$ events. Assuming the LEP formulation and setting the form-factor $\Lambda $ to infinity, a fit to the transverse momentum distribution of the leading charged lepton, leads to a 95$\%$ C.L. range of 0.975 $<{{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}<$ 1.020.
7  AAD 2016P study ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ production in ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions and select 2091 ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ candidates in 4 decay modes with electrons and muons, with an expected background of $1825$ $\pm7$ events. Analyzing the ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ transverse momentum distribution, the resulting 95$\%$ C.L. limit is: 0.81 $<{{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}<$ 1.30.
8  AAD 2013AL study ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ production in ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions and select 1325 ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ candidates in decay modes with electrons or muons with an expected background of $369$ $\pm61$ events. Assuming the LEP formulation and setting the form-factor ${{\mathit \Lambda}}$ = infinity, a fit to the transverse momentum distribution of the leading charged lepton, leads to a 95$\%$ C.L. range of 0.957 $<$ ${{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}$ $<$ 1.043. Supersedes AAD 2012AC.
9  AAD 2012CD study ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ production in ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions and select 317 ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ candidates in three ${{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ decay modes with an expected background of $68.0$ $\pm10.0$ events. The resulting 95$\%$ C.L. range is: 0.63 $<$ ${{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}<$ 1.57. Supersedes AAD 2012V.
10  AALTONEN 2012AC study ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ production in ${{\mathit p}}{{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ collisions and select 63 ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ candidates in three ${{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ decay modes with an expected background of $7.9$ $\pm1.0$ events. Based on the cross section and shape of the ${{\mathit Z}}$ transverse momentum spectrum, the following 95$\%$ C.L. range is reported: 0.61 $<$ ${{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}$ $<$ 1.90 for a form factor of $\Lambda $ = 2 TeV.
11  ABAZOV 2011 study the ${{\mathit p}}$ ${{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ $\rightarrow$ 3 ${{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ process arising in ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ production. They observe 34 ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ candidates with an estimated background of 6 events. An analysis of the $p_T$ spectrum of the ${{\mathit Z}}$ boson leads to a 95$\%$ C.L. limit of 0.600 $<{{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}<$ 1.675, for a form factor $\Lambda $ = 2 TeV.
12  ABAZOV 2006H study ${{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ production with a subsequent decay ${{\mathit W}}$ ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{e}}}}{{\mathit e}^{-}}{{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{{e}}}}$, ${{\mathit W}}$ ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}^{\pm}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{e}}}}{{\mathit \mu}^{\mp}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{\mu}}}}$ or ${{\mathit W}}$ ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{\mu}}}}{{\mathit \mu}^{-}}{{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{{\mu}}}}$. The 95$\%$ C.L. limit for a form factor scale $\Lambda $ = 2 TeV is $0.55$ $<\kappa _{Z}<$ 1.55, fixing $\lambda _{Z}$=0. With the assumption that the ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$ and ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ couplings are equal the 95$\%$ C.L. one-dimensional limit ($\Lambda $ = 2 TeV) is $0.68$ $<\kappa <$ 1.45.
13  ABAZOV 2005S study ${{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ production with a subsequent trilepton decay to ${{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit \ell}^{\,'}}{{\overline{\mathit \ell}}^{\,'}}$ (${{\mathit \ell}}$ and ${{\mathit \ell}^{\,'}}$ = ${{\mathit e}}$ or ${{\mathit \mu}}$). Three events (estimated background $0.71$ $\pm0.08$ events) with $WZ$ decay characteristics are observed from which they derive limits on the anomalous couplings. The 95$\%$ CL limit for a form factor scale $\Lambda $ = 1 TeV is $-1.0$ $<$ ${{\mathit \kappa}_{{{Z}}}}$ $<$ 3.4, fixing ${{\mathit \lambda}_{{{Z}}}}$ and $\mathit g{}^{{{\mathit Z}}}_{1}$ to their Standard Model values.
