parallel talk QCD & Electroweak

Speaker

Prof. Al Goshaw (Duke University)

Description

The talk will summarize recent measurements of multi-boson production by the
ATLAS Collaboration.

Summary

ATLAS measurements of multi-boson production processes involving combinations of up to three W and Z bosons and isolated photons are summarized. The cross sections are measured inclusively and differentially as a function of different kinematic quantities. First measurements if di-boson cross sections at a pp center of mass energy of 13 TeV are presented.

Production processes sensitive to vector-boson fusion and vector-boson scattering such as
electroweak production of single Z and W bosons associated with two forward jets and
same-sign WW production from 8 TeV pp collisions are also presented and compared to
Standard Model expectations. Limits on anomalous triple and quartic qauge boson couplings have been derived.
