Electroweak Precision Measurements in Diboson Production at CMS

TL;DR

This paper reports on recent high-precision measurements of diboson production at CMS, confirming the Standard Model predictions at 5 and 13 TeV energies with no evidence of new physics.

Contribution

It presents the most comprehensive measurements of WZ production to date, including inclusive, differential, and asymmetry analyses, and compares results with NNLO predictions.

Findings

Data favor NNLO predictions obtained by MATRIX.

No evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model.

Provides constraints on the LHC proton PDFs and anomalous gauge couplings.

Abstract

In this contribution, I have outlined recent precision measurements of the standard model (SM) multiboson production at CMS. A study of diboson production at 5 TeV constitutes an important probe of the SM at a new energy, and the data favour NNLO predictions obtained by MATRIX. A study of WZ production at 13 TeV constitutes the most comprehensive study of WZ production to date, containing inclusive and differential cross section measurements, charge asymmetry measurements, constraints on the LHC proton parton distribution functions, and constraints on anomalous values of the WWZ trilinear gauge coupling. No evidence for new physics is found, and all the results favour SM predictions calculated at NNLO using MATRIX.
