Abstract

The process e⁺e^-→W⁺W^- γ is studied using the data collected by the L3 detector at LEP. New results, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 427.4 pb^-1 at centre-of-mass energies from 192 to 207 GeV, are presented. The W⁺W^- γ cross sections are measured to be in agreement with Standard Model expectations. No hints of anomalous quartic gauge boson couplings are observed. Limits at 95% confidence level are derived using also the process e⁺e^-→vγγ.
