The full magnetic moment is given by ${\mathit \mu}_{{{\mathit W}}}$ = $\mathit e(1+\kappa +\lambda )/2{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}$. In the Standard Model, at tree level, $\kappa ~=~$1 and $\lambda ~=~$0. Some papers have defined $\Delta \kappa $ =$~1−\kappa $ and assume that $\lambda ~=~$0. Note that the electric quadrupole moment is given by $−\mathit e(\kappa −\lambda )/{{\mathit m}^{2}}_{{{\mathit W}}}$. A description of the parameterization of these moments and additional references can be found in HAGIWARA 1987 and BAUR 1988. The parameter$~\Lambda $ appearing in the theoretical limits below is a regularization cutoff which roughly corresponds to the energy scale where the structure of the ${{\mathit W}}$ boson becomes manifest.

At 95$\%$CL they report $-3.5<\kappa <5.9$ and $-3.6<\lambda <3.5$. 4  SAMUEL 1992 use preliminary CDF and UA2 data and find $-2.4<\kappa <3.7$ at 96$\%$CL and $-3.1<\kappa <4.2$ at 95$\%$CL respectively. They use data for ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$ production and radiative ${{\mathit W}}$ decay. 5  SAMUEL 1991 use preliminary CDF data for ${{\mathit p}}$ ${{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$ X to obtain $-11.3$ ${}\leq{}$ $\Delta \kappa $ ${}\leq{}$ $10.9$. Note that their $\kappa $ = 1$−\Delta \kappa $. 6  GRIFOLS 1988 uses deviation from $\rho $ parameter to set limit $\Delta \kappa $ ${ {}\lesssim{} }$ 65 ($\mathit M{}^{2}_{\mathit W}/\Lambda {}^{2}$). 7  GROTCH 1987 finds the limit $-37$ $<$ $\Delta \kappa $ $<$ 73.5 (90$\%$ CL) from the experimental limits on ${{\mathit e}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit e}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\overline{\mathit \nu}}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$ assuming three neutrino generations and $-19.5$ $<$ $\Delta \kappa $ $<$ 56 for four generations. Note their $\Delta \kappa $ has the opposite sign as our definition. 8  VANDERBIJ 1987 uses existing limits to the photon structure to obtain $\vert \Delta \kappa \vert $ $<$ 33 (${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}/\Lambda $). In addition VANDERBIJ 1987 discusses problems with using the $\rho $ parameter of the Standard Model to determine $\Delta \kappa $. 9  GRAU 1985 uses the muon anomaly to derive a coupled limit on the anomalous magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole ($\lambda $) moments 1.05 $>\Delta \kappa $ ln($\Lambda /{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}$) $+$ $\lambda $/2 $>-2.77$. In the Standard Model $\lambda $ = 0. 10  SUZUKI 1985 uses partial-wave unitarity at high energies to obtain $\vert \Delta \kappa \vert $ ${ {}\lesssim{} }$ 190 (${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}/\Lambda ){}^{2}$. From the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, SUZUKI 1985 obtains $\vert \Delta \kappa \vert $ ${ {}\lesssim{} }$ 2.2/ln($\Lambda /{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}$). Finally SUZUKI 1985 uses deviations from the $\rho $ parameter and obtains a very qualitative, order-of-magnitude limit $\vert \Delta \kappa \vert $ ${ {}\lesssim{} }$ 150 (${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}/\Lambda ){}^{4}$ if $\vert \Delta \kappa \vert $ ${}\ll$1. 11  HERZOG 1984 consider the contribution of ${{\mathit W}}$-boson to muon magnetic moment including anomalous coupling of ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$. Obtain a limit $-1$ $<$ $\Delta \kappa $ $<$ 3 for $\Lambda $ ${ {}\gtrsim{} }$ 1 TeV.
