Quartic anomalous coupling studies at the LHC using intact protons

POSTER

Abstract

We will give the reach on quartic anomalous couplings between photons and W/Z bosons at the LHC using tagged protons in CMS and ATLAS in the PPS and AFP detectors. Detecting intact protons allows to obtain a background free sample for about 300 fb$^{-1}$ allowing to increase the usual sensitivity to anomalous coupling by more than two orders of magnitude. We will also describe the possible reach on axion-like particles at high masses.
