TL;DR

This paper reports measurements of electroweak vector boson pair production at the LHC using CMS data at 7 and 8 TeV, testing Standard Model predictions and informing Higgs search backgrounds.

Contribution

It provides the first comprehensive overview of electroweak vector boson pair production and anomalous TGC measurements with CMS at these energies.

Findings

Cross-section measurements agree with Standard Model predictions.

Constraints on anomalous Triple Gauge Couplings are established.

Results improve understanding of electroweak processes at high energies.

Abstract

We present an overview of measurements of electroweak vector boson pair production and anomalous Triple Gauge Couplings (aTGC), with semileptonic and fully leptonic final states. The data analyzed were taken at center of mass energy of 7 & 8 TeV by the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The cross-section measurements are important because they are test of the Standard Model predictions, while these processes serve as background for Higgs searches and various other processes.
