Findings

Observation of ZZ events

Precise WW cross section measurement

Results agree with Standard Model

Abstract

We present a summary of recent WW, WZ, and ZZ measurements carried out in $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV at the Tevatron. The observation of rare ZZ events and the precise measurement of the WW cross section in fully leptonic decay modes are described. Results in semi-leptonic decay modes where one boson decays to two quarks are also presented. The measurements described are all in good agreement with the Standard Model and are relevant to searches for the Higgs boson at the Tevatron.
