Probing anomalous quartic $\gamma \gamma \gamma \gamma$ couplings in light-by-light collisions at the CLIC

Abstract

The anomalous quartic neutral couplings of the $\gamma \gamma \gamma \gamma$ vertex in a polarized light-by-light scattering of the Compton backscattered photons at the CLIC are examined. Both differential and total cross sections are calculated for $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collision energies 1500 GeV and 3000 GeV. The helicity of the initial electron beams is taken to be $\pm 0.8$. The unpolarized and SM cross sections for the same values of helicities are also estimated. The 95\% C.L. exclusion limits on two anomalous photon couplings ${\zeta }_1$ and ${\zeta }_2$ are calculated. The best bounds on these couplings are found to be $6.85\times 10^{-16}{\mathrm{GeV}}^{-4}$ and $1.43\times 10^{-15}{\mathrm{GeV}}^{-4}$, respectively. The results are compared with the exclusion bounds obtained previously for the LHC and HL-LHC. It is shown that the light-by-light scattering at the CLIC, especially the polarized, has a greater potential to search for the anomalous quartic neutral couplings of the $\gamma \gamma \gamma \gamma$ vertex.
