Abstract

The first evidence of electroweak (EW) production of pairs of $Z$ bosons in association with two jets (jj) in the final state $Z Z jj \to ℓ ℓ ν ν jj$ , where $ℓ = e$ , $μ$ , is reported by the CMS experiment. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton-proton ( $p p$ ) collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV$ , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $138 {fb}^{- 1}$ . Events are selected by requiring exactly two leptons of same flavor and opposite charge, large missing transverse momentum, and two jets with a large rapidity separation and large invariant mass. The EW production cross section in a fiducial volume is $σ_{EW} (p p \to Z Z jj \to ℓ ℓ ν ν jj) = 0.3 7_{- 0.12}^{+ 0.14} {(stat)}_{- 0.06}^{+ 0.06} (syst) fb$ , in agreement with the standard model prediction of $0.39 \pm 0.06 fb$ . The observed (expected) significance of the signal is 3.1 (2.8) standard deviations. Limits on anomalous quartic gauge couplings are derived in terms of dimension-8 effective field theory operators. A combination with the previously reported result from the $Z Z$ decay channel with four charged leptons yields an observed (expected) significance of 5.0 (4.5) standard deviations for the EW production of $Z$ boson pairs.
