Description

We present studies of WW, WZ and ZZ diboson production in pp collisions based on data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. These include precise measurements the production cross section of these processes at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8TeV . The leptonic decay modes of the W and Z bosons are used. The results are interpreted in terms of constraints on anomalous triple gauge couplings. In addition the first observation of the decay Z to 4 charged leptons is reported.
