## TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel method to measure vector-boson scattering at LHCb by leveraging its unique detector capabilities, enabling potential measurements with upcoming data despite the typical VBS topology.

## Contribution

It introduces a new strategy to probe vector-boson scattering at LHCb, focusing on single-jet tagging and same-sign leptons, expanding the experimental reach of VBS studies.

## Key findings

- Feasible measurement of VBS at LHCb with upcoming luminosities.
- Event selection strategy effectively distinguishes VBS from background.
- Cross sections and distributions computed for proposed method.

## Abstract

In this letter, I propose a strategy to measure vector-boson scattering (VBS) at the LHCb experiment. The typical VBS topology at hadron colliders features two energetic back-to-back jets with large rapidities and two gauge bosons produced centrally. In this article, I show that such a topology can actually be probed by the LHCb detector. In particular, tagging only one of the two jets in combination with two same-sign leptons allows for a measurement with upcoming luminosities. I present an illustrative event selection where cross sections and differential distributions are computed for VBS and its irreducible background.
