+===== Conventions in VBFNLO for Anomalous Quartic Gauge Boson Couplings =====
+\\
+VBFNLO allows for calculations including anomalous gauge boson couplings in many processes.
+Both dimension-6 and dimension-8 operators are included in the effective Lagrangian
+which is used for calculations with anomalous gauge boson couplings.
+They full set of operators can be used in the diboson, triboson and $VVjj$ in VBF production processes.
+The dimension-6 operators are constructed according to Refs. [1,2] and
+the dimension-8 operators are taken from Ref. [3].
+More details on the implementation in VBFNLO can be found in
+Refs. [4,5,6].
+For comparisons with programs that use the definition from [3] (for example MadGraph5 [7] with
+the UFO file written by \'Eboli et
+al. [8],
+you should note that our definition of the field strength tensors is slightly different than the one
+of [3]. Therefore you have to rescale the coupling strengths by
+\begin{eqnarray*}
+ f_{S,0,1}   &=&                            f_{S,0,1}^\textrm{\'Eboli}  \\
+ f_{M,0,1}   &=& - \frac{1}{g^2}      \cdot f_{M,0,1}^\textrm{\'Eboli}  \\
+ f_{M,2,3}   &=& - \frac{4}{g'^2}     \cdot f_{M,2,3}^\textrm{\'Eboli}  \\
+ f_{M,4,5}   &=& - \frac{2}{g g'}     \cdot f_{M,4,5}^\textrm{\'Eboli}  \\
+ f_{M,6,7}   &=& - \frac{1}{g^2}      \cdot f_{M,6,7}^\textrm{\'Eboli}  \\
+ f_{T,0,1,2} &=&   \frac{1}{g^4}      \cdot f_{T,0,1,2}^\textrm{\'Eboli}\\
+ f_{T,5,6,7} &=&   \frac{4}{g^2 g'^2} \cdot f_{T,5,6,7}^\textrm{\'Eboli}\\
+ f_{T,8,9}   &=&   \frac{16}{g'^4}    \cdot f_{T,8,9}^\textrm{\'Eboli}
+\end{eqnarray*}
+where $g$ and $g'$ are the SU(2) and U(1) gauge couplings.
+The numerical values for $g$ and $g'$ used in the calculation are printed out at the beginning of the VBFNLO run.
