Description

In this talk we will summarize the status and prospects of studying the two-photon production of W and Z boson pairs at the LHC. As the proposed Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) offers a unique environment for studies of the electroweak gauge boson couplings - after a short introduction of 𝛾𝛾 interactions at the LHeC (see Ref. [1]), we will discuss the case of the two-photon production of W and Z boson pairs [2] and compare the sensitivities expected at the HL-LHC and LHeC.
