Description

We will discuss the sensitivity to quartic anomalous couplings between photons and W/Z bosons at the LHC using intact protons in the final state. This allows obtaining a negligible background for 300 fb$^{-1}$ of data and improves the sensitivities to anomalous couplings by two or three orders of magnitude compared to standard methods. We will also discuss the sensitivity to axion-like particles that also improves by two orders of magnitude.
