Discovering Non-Abelian Weak Couplings and an Anomalous Magnetic Dipole Moment of the W^(pm) at LEP~2

In view of the forthcoming results on $W^{\pm}$ pair production at LEP~2, we emphasize that {\em direct empirical evidence} on non-trivial properties of the weak vector bosons can be obtained with relatively limited integrated luminosity. An integrated luminosity of $10\;\mathrm{pb}^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=175$ GeV will be sufficient to provide direct experimental evidence for non-vanishing self-couplings of non-Abelian type among the weak vector bosons. An integrated luminosity of $100\;\mathrm{pb}^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=175$ GeV will provide direct evidence for the existence of an anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the charged vector bosons $W^{\pm}$.
