Abstract
A study of W+W− events accompanied by hard photon radiation produced in e+e− collisions at LEP is presented. Events consistent with two on-shell W-bosons and an isolated photon are selected from 183 pb−1 of data recorded at s=189 GeV. From these data, 17 W+W−γ candidates are selected with photon energy greater than 10 GeV, consistent with the Standard Model expectation. These events are used to measure the e+e−→W+W−γ cross-section within a set of geometric and kinematic cuts, σ̂WWγ=136±37±8 fb, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. The photon energy spectrum is used to set the first direct, albeit weak, limits on possible anomalous contributions to the W+W−γγ and W+W−γZ0 vertices:−0.070GeV−2
