Description

Measurements of the productions of final states with multiple neutral bosons with ATLAS will be reported. Using 20 fb−1 data collected by the ATLAS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV of proton-proton collisions, the production cross sections for ZZ, Zγ and Zγγ final states are measured using events where the Z bosons decay to electron- or muon- pairs. These final states have clean experimental signatures and low back- grounds which make them ideal for precise tests of the Standard Model and for searches of new physics through the anomalous coupling measure- ments. The neutral diboson final states are important for newly discovered Higgs boson measurements as well as for new resonance searches at the LHC.
