Abstract
We compare vector boson fusion and quark antiquark annihilation
production of vector boson pairs at the LHC and include the effects of
anomalous couplings. Results are given for confidence intervals for
anomalous couplings at the LHC assuming that measurements will be in
agreement with the standard model. We consider all couplings of the
general triple vector boson vertex and their correlations.
In addition we consider a gauge invariant dimension-six
extension of the standard model. Analytical results for the
cross sections for quark antiquark annihilation and vector boson
fusion with anomalous couplings are given.
