Branching Fraction for Z decays to four leptons and constraints on new physics

ORAL

Abstract

The LHC experiments have measured the branching fraction for Z decays to four leptons (electrons or muons). We have combined these measurements for a precise comparison to the standard model value. This comparison leads to an upper limit on anomalous contributions to this decay, and limits on new physics.
