Combination of vector boson scattering measurements with fully- and semi-leptonic final states in proton-proton collisionsat $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
Abstract: A statistical combination of vector boson scattering measurements is presented, incorporating fully leptonic and semileptonic decay channels from proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV. The analysis is based on a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $, collected with the CMS detector between 2016 and 2018. All selected events feature at least two jets with a high invariant mass, large pseudorapidity separation, and at least one heavy vector boson decaying leptonically. A combined measurement of the signal strengths is performed for the production of two same-sign W bosons, two opposite-sign W bosons, two Z bosons, and a WZ final state, comparing the results to Standard Model predictions. Additionally, the measurement is reported separately for different W boson charge states.
