Preliminary Exam
Measurement of the ZZ production cross-section and EFT constraints
Date: Wednesday, December 3rd
Time: 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Place: Chamberlin Hall Room 5310
Speaker: Justin Marquez
Abstract: This research studies the production of Z boson pairs in proton-proton collisions with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The cross-section of this production is measured by observing four-lepton final states using early Run 3 data (2022-2023) witih center-of-mass energy of 13.6 TeV, considering only electrons and muons in the final state. In addition to the cross-section measurement, various relevant parameters in the standard model effective field theory will be investigated to obtain statistical limits on their effects on ZZ production.
