Vector Boson Scattering and Quartic Gauge Coupling Studies in WZ Production


Link to the CMS PAS FTR-13-006 on the CERN document server.

Abstract

Studies of the pp to WZ jj vector boson scattering process in 14 TeV pp collisions using upgraded CMS detector configurations are presented. These studies include assessments of the discovery potential for observing standard model quartic coupling and longitudinal vector boson scattering for luminosities up to $300~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ and for observing anomalous quartic gauge coupling with luminosities of $300~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ and $3000~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$.

Results

Sensitivities for SM EWK scattering discovery and aQGC. The integrated luminosities for SM EWK discovery at $3\sigma$ and $5\sigma$ are reported while aQGC prospects for discovery are given in terms of the $L_{T1}$ operator coupling constant $f_{T1}/\Lambda^4$.

Significance $3\sigma$ $5\sigma$
SM EWK Scattering Discovery 75 $fb^{-1}$ 185 $fb^{-1}$
$f_{T1}/\Lambda^4$ at 300 $fb^{-1}$ $0.8~\mathrm{TeV}^{-4}$ $1.0~\mathrm{TeV}^{-4}$
$f_{T1}/\Lambda^4$ at 3000 $fb^{-1}$ $0.45~\mathrm{TeV}^{-4}$ $0.55~\mathrm{TeV}^{-4}$

Plots
