  3. Into the heart of gauge theories Peter Mättig, CERN Summer Students 2014

  4. LookingforTGVs (TripleGaugeBosonVertices) W – Boson weakly and electrically charged  coupling to Z0 and g • Very fine compensation of contributions • motivation to introduce Z0 • Relates couplings to fermions and bosons First measurements at e+e- collider LEP Onset of cancellation process seen Quantify with‘anomalous couplings’ Peter Mättig, CERN Summer Students 2014

  5. Signaturesofanomalouscouplings Clearest signature in excess of events with high pT Selectionof ZW events: threehardleptons + missing ET Step1:Z0  e+e-, m+m- Step 2: transversemassStep 3: pTof Z Peter Mättig, CERN Summer Students 2014

  6. Anomalous 3 – bosoncouplings Measurements agree with Standard Model expectation Sensitivity to possible deviations at LHC approaches LEP: a few % Increased statistics and higher energies during the next years will significantly boost precision Peter Mättig, CERN Summer Students 2014

  7. Special interest: W pairsfrom VBF 1960s: event rate for WLWL WLWL explodes at 1.2 TeV Higgs boson should cure this: theory works fine Forward going jet W – boson fusion Forward going jet Require high jj mass + high |Dy| Expected background: 16.9 Expected WWjj: 15.2 Observed nb.
