Measurements of Diboson Production and Vector Boson Scattering

Experimental results on production cross-sections are compared to the most recent theoretical predictions, many at NNLO.

Sumario:Measurements of diboson production and vector boson scattering at the LHC are presented. Experimental results on production cross-sections are compared to the most recent theoretical predictions, many at NNLO. Searches for anomalous triple and quartic gauge couplings (aTGCs and aQGCs) are performed in regions of vector boson scattering phase space with increased sensitivity to electro-weak production. Significant improvement in the sensitivity of these searches is achieved using new techniques at 8 TeV centre-of-mass energy and using the latest 13 TeV data. A brief discussion of projected improvements to these results in the high luminosity LHC era is also included.
