Abstract
Triple gauge boson couplings axe measured from W-pair events recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies of 183 - 209 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 680 pb-1. Only CP-conserving couplings are considered and SU(2)×U(1) relations are used, resulting in four independent couplings, κγ, g1z, λγ and g5z. Determining each coupling in a separate fit, assuming the other couplings to take their Standard Model values, we obtain κγ,=0.88-0.08 +0.09, g1z=0.987-0.033 +0.034, A7=-0.060lg:g|J and g5z=-0.04 -0.12+0.13, where the errors include both statistical and systematic uncertainties. Fits are also performed allowing some of the couplings to vary simultaneously. All result..
