Extracting the TGCs

In this chapter the most efficient way of extracting the values of the TGCs from the data using a SDM analysis will be discussed. It has already been shown that the semi-leptonically decaying W-pair events give the best opportunity for comprehensive analysis and so accordingly have been chosen as the signal process. Only the leptonically decaying W boson in the W-pairs gives access to all the individual elements of the single W SDM. For the TGC fits the only information used from the hadronically decaying W boson will be the W boson production angle. Both the single W SDM elements and the W boson production angle will be used to calculate the values of the TGCs.
