Differential cross-section measurements of the production of four charged leptons in association with two jets using the ATLAS detector
arXiv:2308.12324 · doi:10.1007/JHEP01(2024)004
Abstract
Differential cross-sections are measured for the production of four charged leptons in association with two jets. These measurements are sensitive to final states in which the jets are produced via the strong interaction as well as to the purely-electroweak vector boson scattering process. The analysis is performed using proton-proton collision data collected by ATLAS at TeV and with an integrated luminosity of 140 fb. The data are corrected for the effects of detector inefficiency and resolution and are compared to state-of-the-art Monte Carlo event generator predictions. The differential cross-sections are used to search for anomalous weak-boson self-interactions that are induced by dimension-six and dimension-eight operators in Standard Model effective field theory.
