abstract

This paper presents measurements of $W^{\pm}Z$ production cross sections in $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data were collected in 2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$. The $W^{\pm}Z$ candidate events are reconstructed using leptonic decay modes of the gauge bosons into electrons and muons. The measured inclusive cross section in the detector fiducial region for a single leptonic decay mode is $\sigma_{W^\pm Z \rightarrow \ell^{'} \nu \ell \ell}^{\textrm{fid.}} = 63.7 \pm 1.0$ (stat.) $\pm 2.3$ (syst.) $\pm 1.4$ (lumi.) fb, reproduced by the next-to-next-to-leading-order Standard Model prediction of $61.5^{+1.4}_{-1.3}$ fb. Cross sections for $W^+Z$ and $W^-Z$ production and their ratio are presented as well as differential cross sections for several kinematic observables. An analysis of angular distributions of leptons from decays of $W$ and $Z$ bosons is performed for the first time in pair-produced events in hadronic collisions, and integrated helicity fractions in the detector fiducial region are measured for the $W$ and $Z$ bosons separately. Of particular interest, the longitudinal helicity fraction of pair-produced vector bosons is also measured.

  1. Precise Standard-Model predictions for polarised Z-boson pair production and decay at the LHC

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors deliver the first NNLO QCD plus NLO EW combination of predictions for polarised ZZ pairs at the LHC and validate them across five Monte Carlo codes and against ATLAS simulations.

  2. General form of effective operators from hidden sectors

    hep-ph 2024-12 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Hidden sectors coupled through the Higgs, neutrino, or hypercharge portal always generate a fixed set of dimension-six SMEFT operators, with signs fixed by causality and unitarity when the UV scaling is mild.

  3. Evidence for longitudinally polarised $Z$ bosons in electroweak $W^{\pm}Z$ production in association with two jets from $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV and 13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    First measurement of the fraction of longitudinally polarised Z bosons in electroweak WZ+two-jet production: f_X0 = 0.32 ± 0.09, a 4.0σ signal consistent with the Standard Model.

    hep-ex 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Measurements of WbWb differential cross sections in the dilepton channel at 13 TeV with 140 fb^-1 of ATLAS data provide new constraints on ttbar and tW interference modeling.

  5. Renormalisation group evolution effects on global SMEFT analyses

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Including RGE effects in a global SMEFT fit improves bounds on poorly constrained four-quark operators but weakens limits on modified Z q qbar couplings by up to a factor of ten.

  6. Unbinning global LHC analyses

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Simulation-based inference produces stronger combined LHC constraints on SMEFT Wilson coefficients than histogram-based inference for four di-boson processes.

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Flavor-changing Z and Higgs couplings can induce CP-violating HZZ form factors up to about 10^-7, and a new asymmetry in Z* -> Z H is proposed to search for them.

    hep-ex 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The CMS experiment measured the inclusive WZ production cross section at 13.6 TeV and found it consistent with Standard Model predictions.

    hep-ex 2025-08 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    The ATLAS search finds no evidence of heavy neutral leptons in W boson decays and sets the strongest limits to date on their mixing with electron and muon neutrinos in the 15-30 GeV mass range.
