We examine the process yy + W+W-in the context of a yy collider con strutted by backscattering laser light off the electron beams of a 500 GeV e+ecollider.We present analytic formulas for the helicity amplitudes with general K and X anomalous couplings.We calculate the effective cross section, accounting for the photon spectrum and including polarization effects.Finally, we assess the sensitivity of this experiment, and compare to those of other experiments running at a comparable energy.
