abstract
We study the production of a single resonance at the LHC and its decay into a pair of Z bosons. We demonstrate how full reconstruction of the final states allows us to determine the spin and parity of the resonance and restricts its coupling to vector gauge bosons. Full angular analysis is illustrated with the simulation of the production and decay chain including all spin correlations and the most general couplings of spin-zero, -one, and -two resonances to Standard Model matter and gauge fields. We note implications for analysis of a resonance decaying to other final states.

First NLO-QCD amplitude-assisted ML regression for longitudinal-boson production rate in di-boson events at the LHC, benchmarked against random forests.
Proof-of-concept for NLO matrix element method via POWHEG projections applied to fully leptonic WW production in SMEFT, demonstrating near-optimal classification of BSM versus SM events using lepton correlations.
AI-driven symbolic evolution discovers interpretable event-level observables that retain substantially more local Fisher information than angular baselines for CP-sensitive HZ interference in two collider channels.
Higgs boson cross-section in H→4ℓ measured as 3.65 fb with new LHC data, consistent with SM expectation of 3.68 fb and signal strength 0.99±0.13.
Updated constraints from the full Run 2 dataset show no evidence for anomalous Higgs couplings in gluon fusion, vector boson fusion, and associated production modes decaying to two photons.
No significant excess observed in CMS four-lepton data; 95% CL upper limits set on heavy scalar resonance production cross section times BR(ZZ) ranging 0.05-0.1 pb at low mass to 0 pb at high mass.
The document reports the first year of activity of the VBSCan COST Action network on vector-boson scattering phenomenology and experiments from a 2018 workshop.
