1  AABOUD 2019BA study ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ production in decay modes with an electron and a muon. The charged leptons are each required to have a transverse momentum larger than 27 GeV and rapidity less than 2.5. The electron-muon system is required to have a mass larger than 55 GeV and a transverse momentum larger than 30 GeV. The missing transverse energy must be larger than 20 GeV. Events containing a jet with transverse momentum exceeding 35 GeV and rapidity smaller than 4.5 are rejected. A total of 12,659 events are selected in the data, with an expected background of $4240$ $\pm477$ events. Analysing the transverse momentum spectrum of the leading charged lepton, the following 95$\%$ C.L. limits are derived in units of TeV${}^{-2}$: $-3.4$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{WWW}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 3.3, $-7.4$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 4.1, $-21$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{B}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 18, $-1.6$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}}_{ {{\overline{\mathit W}}} {{\mathit W}} {{\mathit W}} }/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 1.6, $-76$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}}_{{{\overline{\mathit W}}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 76.
2  SIRUNYAN 2019AD study inclusive ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ production, with ${{\mathit W}}$ and ${{\mathit Z}}$ decaying to electrons or muons. The leading (subleading) charged lepton candidate from the ${{\mathit Z}}$ boson decay is required to have a transverse momentum larger than 25 GeV (10 GeV). The charged lepton candidate from the ${{\mathit W}}$ boson decay is required to have a transverse momentum larger than 25 GeV. The invariant mass of the two leptons from ${{\mathit Z}}$ decay is required to be within 15 GeV of the ${{\mathit Z}}$ mass, while the invariant mass of the tri-lepton system is required to exceed 100 GeV. A total of 3,831 tri-lepton events are observed, with a fitted SM ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ signal of $3166$ $\pm62$ events and a fitted background of $666$ $\pm45$ events. The approximated ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ invariant mass distribution is analyzed to set 95$\%$ C.L. limits as follows: $-4.1$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 1.1, $-2.0$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{WWW}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 2.1, $-100$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{B}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 160, in units of TeV${}^{-2}$.
3  SIRUNYAN 2019CL study ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ and ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ production in lepton + jet events, with one ${{\mathit W}}$ boson decaying leptonically (electron or muon), and another ${{\mathit W}}$ or ${{\mathit Z}}$ boson decaying hadronically, reconstructed as a single massive large-radius jet. In the electron channel 2,456 (2,235) events are selected in the ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ ( ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ ) category, while in the muon channel 3,996 (3572) events are selected in the ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ ( ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ ) category. Analysing the di-boson invariant mass distribution, the following 95$\%$ C.L. limits are obtained in units of TeV${}^{-2}$: $-1.58$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{WWW}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 1.59, $-2.00$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 2.65, $-8.78$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{B}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 8.54.
4  AABOUD 2018Q study ${{\mathit p}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}{{\mathit Z}}$ events at $\sqrt {s }$ = 13 TeV with ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit e}^{-}}$ or ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \mu}^{-}}$ . The number of events observed in the 4${{\mathit e}}$, 2${{\mathit e}}$ 2${{\mathit \mu}}$, and 4${{\mathit \mu}}$ channels is 249, 465, and 303 respectively. Analysing the $p_T$ spectrum of the leading ${{\mathit Z}}$ boson, the following the following 95$\%$ C.L. limits are derived in units of TeV${}^{-4}$: $-5.9$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}}_{ {{\widetilde{\mathit B}}} {{\mathit W}} }/\Lambda {}^{4}$ $<$ $5.9$, $-3.0$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{WW}}}/\Lambda {}^{4}$ $<$ $3.0$, $-3.3$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{BW}}}/\Lambda {}^{4}$ $<$ $3.3$, $-2.7$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{BB}}}/\Lambda {}^{4}$ $<$ $2.8$.
5  SIRUNYAN 2018BZ study ${{\mathit p}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}$ $~\mathit jet~jet$ events at 13 TeV where ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit e}^{-}}$ $/$ ${{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \mu}^{-}}$ . Isolated electrons and muons are selected with $p_T$ of the leading/sub-leading lepton $>$ 30/20 GeV and $\vert {{\mathit \eta}}\vert$ $<$ 2.4, with the di-lepton invariant mass within 15 GeV of the ${{\mathit Z}}$ mass. The two highest $p_T$ jets are selected with $p_T$ of the leading/sub-leading jet $>$ 50/30 GeV respectively and dijet invariant mass $>$ 200 GeV. Templates in the transverse momentum of the ${{\mathit Z}}$ are utilized to set limits on the triple gauge couplings in the EFT and the LEP parametrizations. The following 95$\%$ C.L. limits are obtained in units of TeV${}^{-2}$: $-2.6<{{\mathit c}_{{WWW}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}<$ $2.6$ and $-8.4<{{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}<$ $10.1$.
6  AABOUD 2017S analyze electroweak production of a ${{\mathit W}}$ boson in association with two jets at high dijet invariant mass, with the ${{\mathit W}}$ boson decaying to electron or muon plus neutrino. In the signal region of dijet mass larger than 1 TeV and leading-jet transverse momentum larger than 600 GeV, 30 events are observed in the data with $39$ $\pm4$ events expected in the Standard Model, yielding the following limits at 95$\%$ CL for the form factor cut-off scale ${{\mathit \Lambda}_{{FF}}}\rightarrow\infty{}$: $-33$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ $30$, $-170$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{B}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ $160$, $-13$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{WWW}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ $9$, $-580$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}}_{{{\widetilde{\mathit W}}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ $580$, $-11$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}}_{{{\widetilde{\mathit W}}}WW}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ $11$, in units of TeV${}^{-2}$.
7  AABOUD 2017U analyze production of ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ or ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ boson pairs with one ${{\mathit W}}$ boson decaying to electron or muon plus neutrino, and the other ${{\mathit W}}$ or ${{\mathit Z}}$ boson decaying hadronically. The hadronic decay system is reconstructed as either a resolved two-jet system or as a single large jet. Analysing the transverse momentum distribution of the hadronic system above 100 GeV yields the following limits at 95$\%$ CL for the form factor cut-off scale ${{\mathit \Lambda}_{{FF}}}$ $\rightarrow$ $\infty{}$: $-3.1$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{WWW}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ $3.1$, $-19$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{B}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ $20$, $-5.1$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ $5.8$, in units of TeV${}^{-2}$.
8  KHACHATRYAN 2017O analyse ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ production where each boson decays into electrons or muons. Events are required to have a tri-lepton invariant mass larger than 100 GeV, with one of the lepton pairs having an invariant mass within 20 GeV of the ${{\mathit Z}}$ boson mass. The ${{\mathit Z}}$ transverse momentum spectrum is analyzed to set 95$\%$ C.L. limits of: $-260$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{B}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ $210$, $-4.2$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ $8.0$, $-4.6$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{WWW}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ $4.2$, in units of TeV${}^{-2}$.
9  SIRUNYAN 2017X study ${{\mathit p}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ / ${{\mathit W}}$ ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}$ production at 8 TeV where ${{\mathit \ell}}$ is an electron or muon with $p_T$ $>$ 30 or 25 GeV respectively. Suitable cuts are put on the $p_T$ of the dijet system and the missing $\mathit E_{T}$ of the event yielding a total of 285 and 204 ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit V}}$ events observed in the electron and muon channels. The following 95$\%$ C.L. limits in units of TeV${}^{-2}$ are obtained: $-2.7$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{W W W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 2.7, $-14$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{B}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 17, $-2.0$ $<$ ${{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 5.7.
10  AAD 2016AR study ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ production in ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions and select 6636 ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ candidates in decay modes with electrons or muons with an expected background of $1546$ $\pm157$ events. Assuming an EFT formulation, a fit to the transverse momentum distribution of the leading charged lepton, leads to 95$\%$ C.L. ranges of: $-4.61<{{\mathit c}_{{WWW}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}<$ 4.60, $-5.87<{{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}<$ 10.54 and $-20.9<{{\mathit c}_{{B}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}<$ 26.3,in units of TeV${}^{-2}$.
11  AAD 2016P study ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ production in ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions and select 2091 ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ candidates in 4 decay modes with electrons and muons, with an expected background of $1825$ $\pm7$ events. Analyzing the ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit Z}}$ transverse momentum distribution, the resulting 95$\%$ C.L. limits are: $-3.9<{{\mathit c}_{{WWW}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}<$ 4.0, $-4.3<{{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}<$ 6.8, and $-320<{{\mathit c}_{{B}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}<$ 210, in units of TeV${}^{-2}$.
12  KHACHATRYAN 2016BI determine the ${{\mathit W}^{+}}{{\mathit W}^{-}}$ production cross section using unlike sign di-lepton (${{\mathit e}}$ or ${{\mathit \mu}}$) events with high $p_T$. The leptons have $p_T$ $>$ 20 GeV/c and are isolated. Events are required to have no jets above $p_T$ of 30 GeV/c. 4847 (2233) events are selected with different (same) flavor leptons, with an expected total background of $1179$ $\pm123$ ($643$ $\pm73$) events. Analysing the di-lepton invariant mass spectrum, the following values are obtained: ${{\mathit c}_{{WWW}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ = $0.1$ $\pm3.2$, ${{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$ = $-3.6$ ${}^{+5.0}_{-4.5}$ and ${{\mathit c}_{{B}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}$= $-3.2$ ${}^{+15.0}_{-14.5}$, in units of TeV${}^{-2}$. The limits at 95$\%$ C.L. are: $-5.7<{{\mathit c}_{{WWW}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}<$5.9, $-11.4<{{\mathit c}_{{W}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}<$5.4 and $-29.2<{{\mathit c}_{{B}}}/\Lambda {}^{2}<$23.9, in units of TeV${}^{-2}$.
