Search for anomalous couplings in the Higgs sector at LEP
We search for a Higgs particle with anomalous couplings in the , and processes with the L3 detector at LEP. We explore the mass range 70~{\rm GeV} < m_\mathrm{H} < 170~{\rm GeV} using 176~{\rm pb}^{-1} of integrated luminosity at a center-of-mass energy of \sqrt{s} = 189~{\rm GeV}. The Higgs decays , and are considered in the analysis. No evidence for anomalous Higgs production is found. This is interpreted in terms of limits on the anomalous couplings , , and . Limits on the and partial widths in the explored Higgs mass range are also obtained.
