Description

We present a summary of the latest measurements of the VV cross-sections, where V=W or Z and one of the bosons decays into a pair of jets while the other decays leptonically. The data sample(s) correspond to proton-proton collision events collected with the CMS detector at sqrt(s) = 7, 8 TeV. Subsequent searches for Anomalous Triple Gauge couplings, which allow us to probe the non-Abelian structure in the Electroweak Sector, are described. We present the exclusion limits on the corresponding couplings.
