WWW triboson production using 139 fb$^{-1}$ of data taken by the ATLAS detector

ORAL

Abstract

The joint production of three heavy vector bosons is a rare process in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and is one of the least studied SM process. Studies of triboson production can test the non-Abelian gauge structure of the SM theory and any deviations from the SM prediction would indicate hints of new physics at higher energy scales. I will present the full run2 study of $WWW$ triboson production using data collected in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13 $ TeV with the ATLAS detector between 2015 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$. In the measurement, events containing two same-sign leptons and at least two jets are selected for the $WWW \rightarrow \ell \nu \ell \nu qq$ channel, while events with three leptons without any same-flavor opposite-sign leptons are used for the $WWW \rightarrow \ell \nu \ell \nu \ell \nu$ channel. Detailed results will be presented.
