The Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian and New Precision Measurements

Abstract

A revised and complete list of the electroweak chiral lagrangian operators up to dimension-four is provided. The connection of these operators to the $S$, $T$ and $U$ parameters and the parameters describing the triple gauge boson vertices $WW{\hat{I}}^3$ and $WWZ$ is made, and the size of these parameters from new heavy physics is estimated using a one flavor-doublet model of heavy fermions. The coefficients of the chiral lagrangian operators are also computed in this model.
