Evidence for Electroweak Production of W<sup>±</sup>W<sup>±</sup>jj in pp collisions at √s =8 TeV with the ATLAS Detector

This Letter presents the first study of W<sup>±</sup>W<sup>±</sup>jj, same-electric-charge diboson production in association with two jets, using 20.3 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data at √s=8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with two...

description This Letter presents the first study of W<sup>±</sup>W<sup>±</sup>jj, same-electric-charge diboson production in association with two jets, using 20.3 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data at √s=8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with two reconstructed same-charge leptons (e<sup>±</sup>e<sup>±</sup>, e<sup>±</sup>μ<sup>±</sup>, and μ<sup>±</sup>μ<sup>±</sup>) and two or more jets are analyzed. Production cross sections are measured in two fiducial regions, with different sensitivities to the electroweak and strong production mechanisms. First evidence for W<sup>±</sup>W<sup>±</sup>jj production and electroweak-only W<sup>±</sup>W<sup>±</sup>jj production is observed with a significance of 4.5 and 3.6 standard deviations, respectively. The measured production cross sections are in agreement with standard model predictions. Limits at 95% confidence level are set on anomalous quartic gauge couplings.
